According to Craig Berger analyst for FBR Capital Markets, Apple has revised both its third and fourth calendar quarter iPhone build numbers “significantly higher” to more than 15 million units. The company also placed orders for an additional 2 million 2G iPhones.

“With about seven million incremental units being built in [the third quarter] versus [the second quarter], this data clearly has positive implications for iPhone chip suppliers,” Berger said. ‘[Second quarter] build volumes fell by 25 percent versus prior checks in mid-May (now up only 80 percent quarter-over-quater) as Apple pushes production out a bit into [the third quarter].

Q3 iPod build volumes have reportedly been revised by up to 15% since the analysts last checks.

The analyst added that, “Greater Classic and Nano builds are partially offset by fewer Touch builds,” but, “[Second quarter] build volumes remain largely unchanged, growing 35 percent quarter-over-quarter.”

Mac orders have also apparently shot up, research by Berger suggests anywhere from a 10 to 20 percent increase in Mac system builds.

“These checks also suggest Apple continues to knock the cover off the ball, that its product cycle momentum is ramping, and that any consumer spending malaise in the U.S. or Europe has yet to impact Apple-related product demand,” Berger stated in his report to clients on Thursday.
