Apple is going to make how many iPhone 3Gs!?

BusinessWeek is reporting on analyst predictions for next year’s iPhone 3G numbers. One of our favorite analysts Gene Munster, from Piper Jaffray, sees a very optimistic future.

Many analysts expect Apple (AAPL) to sell around 11 million iPhone 3Gs in 2008 and another 25 million in 2009. But perhaps the most optimistic forecast is from Piper Jaffray (PJC) analyst Gene Munster, who expects the company to sell 13 million this year and 45 million next year.

BusinessWeek claims to have some information that points to Apple’s plans to build over 40 million iPhone 3Gs during the next 12 months. This is actually even more iPhone 3Gs than the optimistic Munster expects Apple to sell in that time frame, 52% more.
