Apple to ship 10M Macs in 2006?
Apple may ship a total of 10 million desktop PCs and notebooks in 2006, doubling the more than 4.5 million Macs it shipped in its 2005 fiscal year. The Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) reports that Apple's major contract makers Foxconn Electronics (the registered trade name of Hon Hai Precision Industry), Quanta Computer and Asustek Computer are expected to benefit from the increased sales as Apple transitions to the new Intel-based architecture. Digitimes notes that Foxconn manufactures Apple's Mac mini computers, Quanta holds orders for the PowerBook series and Asustek has orders for Apple?s iBook models. The EDN report further noted that Quanta also manufactures Apple?s upcoming MacBook Pro. Foxconn also manufacturers the CRT-based iMacs, while Quanta produces the flat-panel iMacs.
