Gene Munster, analyst for Piper Jaffray is today noting that Apple could sell as many as 2.9 million Macs and 11 million iPods in the current quarter.
In a note to clients Munster wrote, "that Apple will sell 2.8 to 2.9 million Macs and 11 million iPods in its fourth fiscal quarter, which ends Sept. 30... based on data released at midday by the NPD Group".
"The Mac numbers represent year-to-year unit growth of 29 per cent to 34 per cent," continued Munster. The sale of 11 million iPods would represent a 8 percent year-on-year increase, ahead of the streets estimate of 6 percent.
Finally, Munster shows less enthusiasm for iPhone sales, predicting just 4.1 million units will have sold by the end of the current quarter. He continues to note that he expects Apple to exceed its originally stated $7.8 billion in revenue and will instead report revenue of $8.5 billion.
