The street had their own #s. The whisper #s were like 34m iphone, eps $12.xx . they knew the rules. apple still gave $8.5 eps for q2 after this q. Just a number game.
the last figure I read is this morning like 45 min before the er, it already whispering 36m iPhone sales number. and my calculation indicate upside is 38m (I missed a few sales day)
