Apple's iPhone manufacturer Foxconn is set to ship 24 million units of the latest iPhone, rumored to be called the iPhone HD, with shipments starting in June, according to Digitimes, which cited sources from Taiwan-based component makers.
Apple's fourth-generation iPhone is expected to be unveiled at WWDC in early June, with first shipments expected later that month. While details about the device are still sketchy, Digitimes report stated that the new iPhone will run on the Arm Cortex A8 processor, have 512MB memory (as opposed to storage, the better to be able to multitask), and 960x640 screen resolution.
Additionally, as another move toward supporting multitasking, the new iPhone has a 33 percent thinner panel than in previous iPhones to allow larger battery modules. Digitimes states that Foxconn will ship 4.5 million units in the first half of 2010 and 19.5 million units for the rest of the year.
