In a note to clients, investment bank Caris & Company analyst Shebly Seyrafi initiated a 24 percent increase in his Mac sales forecast for the Apple’s 2009 calendar year, saying he expects the company to ship 12.1 million Macs during the twelve month period, up from his previous projection of 9.8 million units.
“Recent new Mac products—MacBook, iMac—along with Leopard shipping in October promise continued Mac momentum,” he wrote (as noted by AppleInsider).
He also thinks that Apple ship over 27.6 million iPhones in 2009, up from 27.1 million units. Seyrafi made no changes to his expectations for iPod sales in 2009, which remain at 84.1 million units. His calendar year 2008 Mac, iPhone and iPod unit forecasts are currently listed at 9 million, 12.5 million, and 64.5 million units, respectively.
