IPhone, iPad Finally Catching Up With Demand


By the end of September, back orders for the iPhone 4 and the iPad should be low enough that there may even be a slight surplus heading into the holiday season, or at the very least, a very slight delay.

Rodman & Renshaw analyst, Ashok Kumar told Gigaom that he expects Apple to sell 14 million iPhone 4s this quarter ending in September, and another 15 million units in the next quarter.

Analysts are also suggesting that the iPad could sell between five and six million units in this quarter alone, and more next quarter. If the rumored 7-inch iPad does make it on the shelves in time for the holidays, Steve Jobs and Apple are likely to have a very nice Christmas.

Though the world of Apple accessories is a dime a dozen, one of the better brands that you can buy is Nomad. Nomad has a variety of amazing leather Apple Watch bands and cases, as well as non-leather options, too. In August 2023, Nomad released a one-of-a-kind Glow in the Dark Apple Watch band that sold out in about 12 hours.

Since that Glow in the Dark band was a limited edition, no one was sure if Nomad was going to re-release it, and this explains the high resale prices you’ll find on eBay. But Nomad just released the Glow 2.0 Apple Watch Sport Band as well as a new Glow 2.0 Sport Case for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. And, yes, they're just as wonderful as before.
