Appleinsider reports that Apple, Inc. has ordered 17 million iPhone, 2 million of these with EDGE-only, 15 million 3G. If this sounds too optimistic, you’d be doubly interested to note that the figure is for Apple phones that are still about to be shipped. It is expected Apple will sell all or most of the 17 million before the end of this year. A staggering number, but when coupled with another rumor of iPhone finally supporting MMS, it might actually make a lot of sense. The source of this rumor is an internal memo passed on to iPhoneatlas and the bloggers there immediately noted that the plans for iPhone 3G does not include text messages, or it was omitted for a very important reason: MMS rates have yet to be finalized.
