Apple has placed the iPhone in different countries in order to execute a chess like strategy, that when the timing is correct all the pieces attack at the same time the most vulnerable enemy, Apple hasn’t selected a favorite enemy, but they have been firing back with copycats, ripoff, patent infringements and so on, in order to take advantage of Apple slow negotiations with some important carriers.

Every month you find a new iPhone killer from the most famous handset designers, Nokia, Philips, Samsung, even Google Android now represents a threat to the iPhone, but a well orchestrated deployment, bigger carriers, a possible price cut and new business features could position the iPhone where Apple never thought.

But the deployment is in is initial stage and there’s a bigger than expected customer base ready for the iPhone in different markets worldwide, check the Apple sales possibilities (in millions):

That’s a 1240.39 million possible iPhone users covered by mobile partners, Apple 10 million sale target for this year can be accomplished by selling 0.01% to get 12.4 million users. The gray market is not taken into consideration in this calculation because in can only be measured by Apple, but it could represent more sale than Apple can handle.

There’s a pending discussion with China Mobile, which has more subscribers than USA citizens and this is a market that Apple has been trying to conquer.
