Spurred by the iPhone 4S launch, several analysts expect sales of Apple’s iPhone lineup to explode during the fourth quarter of this year. “The timing of the 70 [international] launches could have some impact on sales ahead of the launch, the US/International split, and hence, our estimates look conservative,” UBS analyst Maynard Um said in a recent note to investors. “A similar 27.5 percent U.S. / 72.5 percent international split from this quarter would imply 42.5 million units in CY4Q or an upside of 14.5 million iPhones.” Apple <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/10/18/apple-reports-q4-earnings-misses-big-on-iphone-sales/">shipped 17.1 million iPhones during the fiscal fourth quarter</a>, and the lower-than-expected sales were blamed on rumors and anticipation ahead of the iPhone 4S launch. Um predicts a huge turnaround for Apple in the fourth calendar quarter, and of course he isn’t alone. The “resoundingly successful” iPhone 4S launch is expected to result in a big holiday season for the Cupertino-based company, <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/10/19/apples-q4-miss-was-a-gift-for-investors-ticonderoga-says/">Ticonderoga Securities said in a recent note</a>.
