Updated Apple Earnings: iPhone Sales Prediction within 100k

Apple just released their earnings for fiscal Q3 2009. Consensus picks for iPhone units sold came in between 4.5 and 5.0 million; the Markets with Search prediction came in at 5.3 million.

The final number of quarterly sales: 5.2 million. While the data points were not large to choose from, the lift in search traffic turned out to be an accurate predictor of this data indicator.

Hopefully more of these predictions will reach the same accuracy in the future.
