iPhone Sales Look Unlikely To Hit 10 Million Target

The popular iPhone has been selling extremely well since it’s launch and it’s now said that sales have topped over 4 million. Although that’s a lot of iPhone love, it looks like it won’t be enough to hit it’s original sales estimates of 10 million units in a year by end of 2008.

At Macworld 2008, Steve Jobs claimed that the iPhone is selling on average 20,000 unit’s a day. This itself is very impressive, but there is only 5 11 months to go to reach the 10 million target, meaning they’d have to sell another 6 million phones.

With consumers in the UK still claiming the iPhone is too expensive, is there any chance Apple will hit it’s 10 million target?

Update
Jobs made the mistake of specifying Apple’s target of selling 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008. The goal sounded modest when Jobs said the goal represents just 1 percent of the global handset market. In fact, it’s probably an unreachable goal, given the price, Cingular-only availability in the U.S. and lack of business appeal. To put that 10 million figure in perspective, RIM sold about 5.5 million BlackBerrys last year. And BlackBerry is a brand available in many models from several carriers, has a huge cult following and is sold by the truckload to both business and individual customers.
