Apple to sell over 80 million iPhone’s by 2012?

apple-2012There is a new report out by Mike Abramsky, analyst with RBC Capital Markets who is predicting by 2012 Apple will have 16.3% smartphone-specific market share and total iPhone sales of 82.1 million.

Abramsky said “Despite the iPhone’s introduction more than two years ago, competitors continue to lag iPhone’s sleek touchscreen experience, robust third-party applications platform, and tight multimedia integration. Off the strength of its brand, innovation, and customer loyalty, Apple is expected to retain its premium carrier subsidy versus competitors, sustaining above-peer margins for its smartphones. We believe Apple will sustain its lead in content, games, and apps, which we expect to expand to include mobile commerce, user-generated content, advanced gaming, etc.”

Hopefully when Bell and Telus bring on the iPhone in the coming months they will help hit those numbers!

  1. I know for sure that I definetly won't be one of those 80 million. The iPhone is just an iPod Touch, except with a camera and the fact that it's a phone. Now HTC's Android is a whole different story. :D

  2. I hate the iPhone… it is such a trend w***e device. Every other person has one on the streets now as it is. Honestly, I’m not sure why they will keep predicting market share increases for Apple – for many, the “cool” factor of the iPhone has worn off and trendsetters are picking Android (as we know since Android is outselling the iPhone). Good luck, Apple.

  4. Not hating iPhone or iAnything people. But I don’t like to follow people. It’s a good phone, but I won’t own it until there are Zero other phones on the market. Honda makes good cars, but are iPhone owners Honda owners also. Bet you all of them are not but they should be. They like things that are good and like to follow the masses.
