How many iPhone 5's do you believe they can pump out of the factories in China in a weeks time?
My estimation is about 200,000 phones per week, this is based on a 24/7 shift schedule.
Earlier, I saw a member post about their serial number saying that they the iPhone was made in around August 6th-10th and currently is shipping. (People who ordered from Apple.com seem to be getting serial numbers already)
So assuming that production started in early August, that preorders hit around 2,000,000 on Friday, shipping slipped to 2 - 3 weeks, is it safe to say that it takes approximately 70 days (68 to be exact) to meet this current demand?
Well if it is then, 2,000,000/70 = 28,571 per day
So about 200,000 per week.
I use to work for a large car company and deal with manufacturing, so I have a background.
