An information technology analyst has predicted Apple could ship as many as 107 million iPhones in the next 12 months, ahead of the company’s press conference for new iPhone products.
Janney Capital Markets analyst Bill Choi has told All Things Digital that due to more carrier agreements and expansion overseas, 107 million iPhones could sell in the next year.
“There are still a handful of major carriers worldwide that have yet to carry the iPhone. Potential deals with Sprint (52.1M subscribers), T-mobile (33.6M subscribers), China Mobile (628M subscribers) and other large international carriers pose a catalyst to fuel iPhone ?sales,” Choi said.
“As of the third quarter of 2011, Apple distributed the iPhone in 105 countries through 228 carriers.”
“We believe Apple is well positioned to capture an enormous profit pool as mobility and content worlds converge.”
