Where we stand on iPhone/iPod stock, according FBR Research

FBR Research analyst Craig Berger is estimating quite high numbers for the stock of the iPhone 3G, as well as the original iPhone. With the iPhone 3G coming in at 15 million units and the original iPhone at 2 million, it would appear as if Apple is planning on smashing their 10 million unit goal. On top of this, he adds that Apple has ordered about 15% more iPod Nanos and Classics, while lowering the iPod Touch production. This led him to believe that a new Classic or Touch iPod could be on the horizon. Looks like Apple’s mobile devices are still selling strongly.

As for actual Macs, Berger says that laptop production is up 10% and desktop production is up 20%. This must mean these products are also selling extremely well.

Hopefully, these high iPhone numbers will prevent Apple from running out of stock across the world on July 11th. Also, I would love to see an iPod line refresh, and maybe a change to the iPod Touch to make it a more logical choice for customers. As always with Apple, we can only sit back and watch.
