What's your iPhone sales prediction: total from its birth, to end of 2008?
I've been told I have a freaky ability to guess correctly sometimes. I'm calling total sales from June 2007 to the end of calendar year 2008; 29 million. And if I'm wrong it'll be more than that amount, not less. So much for 10 million.
Don't laugh, predict. What's your guess? Give me a number.

29 million. Don't laugh,
I am not laughing... but I am curious as to why you think that the 3G iPhone is going to sell nearly 23 million units in just under 6 months.

Well they just added another 20 countries I think (lots of counties anyway) and the holiday season is round the corner. The iPhone is becoming somewhat affordable finally and more countries are adding a pre-pay model all the time. That and the app store is changing everything pretty much, and everyone who sees my iPhone now wants one, badly. As I was saying, if I'm wrong I'll be guessing to conservatively, it's going to be well up there.
probably between 15-20M.
15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 million? Pick one.
15,378,420 units on Dec 31, 11:59 pm.
EDIT: wrong
It's already passed that number.
~10m in Q3 08? Well, we'll find out in a few days. I hope I'm wrong! My portfolio could use the help.

The iPhone is a very strong product. I predict a snowball effect, especially outside the US. The more people are exposed - the more they will want to buy.

Disclosure lol, who doesn't own Apple?
29 million.
So. Apple only needs to sell 16 million iPhones over the holidays.... and you'll be spot on!

Around 16 million yeah, just under that. I think they'll do it too. The holiday season is approaching, and they are adding more countries too don't forget.

Yes and if they don't you can always go back and edit your original post.

I could, but I won't.
We actually should now how they are doing in 3 or 4 weeks, end of Nov at the latest. So we probably don't have to wait much longer. They have to be selling more than a 1m per week, and channel checks should be able to figure that out soon.
12 million! And not a shilling more!
It's 13 million now.
27 Million
27 million was my original prediction a while back, but I got too carried away and went to 29, I'm going to settle back on 27. So 27 million it is.
if its more, then thats ok too
all these countries have been added Brendan, but dont forget the WORLD WIDE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN that might play a little part in how things unfold
I'll be conservative and say 15.5 and as a second guess i'll say 15.2
Well it's 13 million now Walter. You think the holiday quarter is going to be 2.2 million?
(the previous quarter was nearly 7 million btw)
And please don't call me Brendan, my handle will do thanks.
