Can this recession effect iPhone productions?

No, none of these would work as the iPhone seems to be recession proof already. People want more out of their iPhones, not less.
Making a limited amount: WHAT! Everybody would go crazy! Sorry this wouldn't work at all.
I think that is just a list of what would annoy Apple fans. So in conclusion, the recession cannot effect iPhone production.

Apple's got quite a bit of "rainy day" money in the bank.
Contrary to your suggestions, I'd think that they would dip into that cash, if needed, and make a product that exceeded expectations and put them far above what their competitors might be doing.

I think last year I heard Apple had $23 million on hand. Therefore, Apple can afford to keep up the pace.
But I wouldn't be shocked to see some move to draw in more customers on the low end. Keeping the 8GB model and making it $149 or $99 wouldn't surprise me.
Put it this way - they've been reported to have increased production of the current iPhone.
They've been increasing the number of countries they sell in, so even if the percentage of people buying decreases, they're able to sell to more people, which works in their favour.
They'll alter the production runs depending on when the next one comes out, and the demands. You''ll know more in the April 21st ish Quarterly report from Apple.

If that's all they have on hand they would be considered broke. Hell they have BILLIONS!
Who knows... It's made in china, so it's already pretty cheap to make but selling them.... Nah, geeks will find cash to buy what they want
