Foxconn Will Ship 24 Million iPhone 4G Units in 2010

Foxconn is set to ship 24 million units of Apple’s next iPhone in 2010, Digitimes reports.

“According to Digitimes senior analysts Ming-Chi Kuo citing sources from Taiwan-based component makers:

Foxconn will ship 4.5 million units in the first half and 19.5 million units for the rest of 2010. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 4G on June 7, 2010 during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference.

The new device will adopt IPS (in-plane switching) panels with FFS (fringe-field switching) technology and a 960×640 resolution, Kuo said, noting that LG Display and Prime View International are the panel suppliers.

The iPhone 4G will run on the Arm Cortex A8 processor and a 512MB memory module from Samsung Electronics, doubling the memory capacity seen in the iPhone 3GS to take advantage of the multi-tasking capability of the iPhone 4.0 platform, Kuo revealed.”

The question is, will 24 million units be enough or too much for 2010?
