According to TechCrunch, Apple has increased it’s production of their incredibly popular iPhone 3G to 800,00 units a week. You read that right; 800,000 a week. The break-neck pace is far exceeding production of Apple’s first gen iPhone which sold just 6 million units.
TechCrunch adds:
Foxconn factories will be able to ramp production up significantly over time, says our source. But at current sell rates, the company is producing iPhones at a run rate of over 40 million units per year, well beyond early estimates of demand for the product of 25 million over the 3G product lifecycle.
These are impressive numbers, but it’s hard to say if Apple will be able to keep up this pace over the last half of the year. Time will tell, but we’re pulling for them!
