I think they should make sure these phones will last a great deal then worry about sales.

No need for them to do so, the analysts make the projections. Most I saw put the projections at 10.1 million through the 4th quarter '08. RBS then adds that they project 10.7million for '08 and 17 million projected for '09. Of course these are Wall Street analysts, they are rarely right on but its a good estimate.

Similarly, he explained, the $200 iPhone price cut will likely stimulated more demand for the handset, generating Apple additional royalty payments from AT&T that will in the long-run offset the per-unit revenue lost as a result of the cuts. "As a result, Apple and AT&T will have more customers than previously expected sign up for cellular service, resulting in higher payments to Apple from AT&T (we estimate up to $10 per month)," Reitzes wrote.
