Cook: iPhone still on schedule for June

Tim CookWhat with the Apple TV being delayed, some might have begun to worry that the iPhone might suffer a similar fate. Apple COO Tim Cook doesn’t want you to fret, though. Speaking at the Goldman Sachs 2007 Technology Investment Symposium Conference, Cook reiterated Apple’s goal of selling 10 million of the handsets, and said that the iPhone was still on track for a June release.

Cook also said that it was too early to tell if iPhone sales would cannibalize iPod sales; he confirmed that 90 million iPods have been sold since the music player’s introduction in 2001.

Of course, at three months out, it seems unlikely that Cook is going to say anything other than that the iPhone is on schedule. Apple itself claimed the Apple TV was on schedule practically all the way up until it was supposed to ship. Hey, remember when Apple used to announce products that were available immediately? Yeah. Those were the days.
