I’m sure that everyone remembers the number of people lining up for iPhones last year, and the concern over supply versus demand. Can we expect a similar demand for the new iPhone 3G? Morgan Stanley says that it’s going to be even bigger this time around.
It’s pretty obvious why there will be a bigger demand for Apple’s latest headset. According to a representative of Morgan Stanley “We believe the market generally expects a doubling of iPhone units with the lower price point ($199) and we believe this is realistic, if not conservative.” They have even raised their price target on Apple’s stock up to $210, which is up $25 from their last target.
Carriers such as O2 in the UK and Optus in Australia are already receiving more interested customers than expected. Optus was taking $100 deposits from customers wanting to get their hands on an iPhone 3G, however, they have received so many that they had to stop taking such deposits. Looks like you’d better get lined up pretty early this year.

Apple have shot them self’s in the foot with the camera, everyone wants & will buy the iphone in Europe but after a few night out, when all there friends take photos & videos they will be ashamed to get there phones out, I whish apple had just put a 3 megapixel camera in the Iphone 3G
Let’s see, it does more and costs less than 1/2 the price (not counting service).
I asked my dog and my dead grandmother and they too were able to figure out the demand might be 2x that of the original iPhone.
How does Morgan Stanley keep doing this!?
My dead grandmother said 3X !!!
apple shot themselves in the foot? really?
well, if shooting yourself in the foot results in the
amount of profit and demand that apple has from the iphone,
im getting my gun.
love you.
