A Digitimes Research analyst pegs 2010 next-gen iPhone shipments from Foxconn at 24 million
Published on May 17, 2010
A new report from Digitimes today has previous iPhone manufacturer Foxconn set to ship a total of 24 million next-gen iPhones to Apple over the course of 2010.
The first of the shipments, which will reportedly consist of about 4.5 million phones, should be landing stateside before the end of the first half of this year. We would sure hope so, with the expected announcement of the new iPhone taking place on June 7th at WWDC.
The other 19.5 million will come throughout the rest of 2010, aiming to keep supply in stock.
With this report also comes some interesting new (rumored) specs for Apple's upcoming must-have device, including IPS (in-plane switching) panels with FFS (fringe-field switching) technology for a greater viewing angle and an attempt at making the phone usable outside in the sun.
The resolution of the display is said to be 960x640 and will be about 33% thinner than the panel from the iPhone 3GS, which will translate to more battery room for longer talk time.
