Selling eight million Apple iPhones and not ten

Some people love a brand and then others hate it, when it comes to Apple selling ten million iPhones as they said they will, some people will love it if they fall short and only get eight million. The Apple Blog explain why selling only 8 Million iPhones won’t be a big deal.

They said “Now, never mind the fact that Apple still sold over 1.7 million iPhones last quarter. That number was down from the previous quarter, but the previous quarter was the holiday quarter; making a direct comparison, well, pretty much worthless for mostly obvious reasons.

And just yesterday, MSNBC’s Gary Krakow said in a video that Apple will need to license RIM’s Blackberry OS or Windows Mobile for the iPhone in order to gain market share in the business world. Gary says that Apple needed to do this because, in a nutshell, while Apple has done well in the smart phone market as a whole, they haven’t done well with businesses, and in order to do well in business they have to adapt a competitor’s OS. Is this guy serious? Never mind the fact that Apple’s iPhone roadmap event in March outlined the new business-friendly features coming so to iPhones near you, which should make the iPhone more attractive and more useful to big businesses”.

In a nutshell the only people who will really care about whether Apple misses 10 million iPhones sold are those who want to see Apple fail. Read the article on The Apple Blog.
