Citing Taiwan-based component makers, Digitimes senior analysts Ming-Chi Kuo are predicting that Foxconn the suspected assembler of the next-gen iPhone dubbed iPhone HD will ship “4.5 million units in the first half and 19.5 million units for the rest of 2010″.
The article also points towards Apple unveiling iPhone HD on June 7 at WWDC 2010 but does not cite a shipping date.
Digitimes also goes onto discuss how the iPhone HD which has purportedly been revealed in public over the last few weeks will feature an IPS display panel, similar to that of the iPad and has rumoured in the past pack a 960 x 640 high-resolution display; “LG Display and Prime View International are the panel suppliers”.
In contrast to the discoveries of teardowns of prototype units Digitimes reports that iPhone HD will have a “512MB memory module from Samsung Electronics”, double that of the current iPhone 3GS. The battery in iPhone HD will also be larger thanks to the thinner display panel and will be supplied by Simplo Technology and Dynapack International Technology.
