Jefferies analyst Peter Misek has sent a note to investors cutting his iPhone estimate for Apple after worse than expected iPhone sales.

A&T and Verizon CQ1 iPhone sales worse than we expected: AT&T activated 4.3M iPhones in Q1 (-43% Q/Q) vs. our expectation of 6M. Last week Verizon reported activating 3.2M (-24% Q/Q) vs. our expectation of 4M. iPhone share fell slightly at both (from 81% to 78% at AT&T; from 55% to 51% at Verizon). We believe this bodes poorly for Apple's CQ2 guidance. Instead of 32M iPhone shipments in CQ2 we now believe 28M-30M is more likely (we currently estimate 32M).

Yeah...This analysts are so darn shortsighted! Any Joe Smuck who has heard about Apple would have been able to tell them that ppl are holding out for iP5!
