iPhone 2009: Apple to sell 68 million iPhones?

Remember last year that optimistic forecast from Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster that Apple would sell 45 million iPhones in 2009?

- Yeah. How’s that look now?

Well, according to Businessweek, Apple plans to build 40-45 million iPhone 3Gs in the 12 months through August 2009 — 52% more than even Gene Munster expects.

- So how many would that be total?

In 2009? Oh, about 68 million iPhones.

    Something is missing here. It’s either your math skills or your editor. Maybe it’s both. How does 40-45 million iPhones built in 12 months add up to 68 million sold for 2009? Did you mean 40-45 million in the first 9 months of 2009? That would make your math a little more on target.
