8 Million iPhones Manufactured, and Counting: Report

Iria · Sep 2, 2008, 04:58 PM

A joint project between the Apple Finance Board (AFB) and Investor Village’s AAPL Sanity board has been collecting the IMEI numbers from as many iPhone 3Gs as possible, placing the results in a Google Docs spreadsheet.

By tracking the sequence of the IMEIs, the project now says that, with a fair degree of confidence, it can report that as of the end of August Apple had manufactured at least 5,649,000 iPhone 3Gs. When you add the 2.4 million first-generation iPhones Apple reported it had sold in the first six months of 2008, that means that Apple has manufactured more than 8 million iPhones this year.
