AppleInsider reports that according to Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty, Apple could well be expected to sell more than 200 million iPhones in 2013. Huberty says that she has come to this conclusion after having met with one of Apples suppliers and distribution partners in Asia, and learning from her sources that suppliers and carriers alike are very enthusiastic about the iPhone 5. Huberty thinks that Apple will sell 25 million iPhones in the September quarter, which ends this week, and that in the December quarter Apple will go on to have a record-breaking pre-holiday period, with iPhone sales in excess of 50 million. And to those who think that is over the top, she actually says that she thinks this might even be too conservative an estimate, especially if the current component supply problems are resolved and Apple is actually able to fully meet customer demand.
