AppleInsider is reporting that Jeffrey Fidacaro, a Susquehanna Financial Group analyst, claims that Apple is prepping a 3 million CDMA-capable iPhone model this December. This echos what Daring Fireball’s John Gruber said in August.
A CDMA-capable iPhone would allow Apple to expand to other carriers, most notably, Verizon in the United States.
Analyst Jeffrey Fidacaro with Susquehanna Financial Group said in a note to investors on Wednesday that checks with overseas suppliers indicated Apple is prepared to build 3 million CDMA iPhones in December, keeping the device on track for an early 2011 launch. That would put total GSM and CDMA iPhone production for the quarter at between 21 million and 22 million.
Fidacaro also predicted that Apple would produce 7 million iPads this quarter. He also predicts that Apple will sell a record 11.6 million iPhones throughout the quarter, the production of 12 million iPods, and the production of several hundred thousand Apple TVs for launch, ramping up to a million produced by December.
