The serial number is necessary to have an idea of production week

That means this week prod. Strange….. not credible. Are you on some disinformation business?

Look at GOOG.  Complete stable now.  It falls with the markts, but doesn’t get completely pulverized like Apple.  Goog is down just 10 from where they were when Apple was sitting at $160.  The stock has support now.  .

Yeah, I’m looking at GOOG now and its PE is a frigging 28!  What the hell?  I know the overall market has pulled the rug under fundamentals, but if GOOG is settled as you say, Apple has a damn good chance of climbing.

So what the heck does that mean and why?  I just bought an 8GB iPhone just to get to see where we’re at.  What are the implications of:

8GB Black
IMEI 011776001906850
SERIAL #: 88840V8BY7H

Where do we stand.  Debate.

I also got a chance to copy down numbers for three iPhones while I was at the Apple store.  First, let me say it comes form the Costa Mesa Apple store:

8GB Black
011744008573495
86840KNLY7H

16GB White
011744008302044
888402X01R4

16GB Black
011742003291774
868364B8Y7K

Andy since no one has really answered your question I will give you my understanding of the IMEI number.  The format of the number is defined and certain portions have definite meaning for instance the first two digit 01 means the IMEI is assigned by the US the last digit of the series is a check sum so that it doesn’t matter.  The middle contains a TAC and a sequence.  Apple applies for a block of numbers and then uses that block with the TAC With both the old and new TAC, the code can be used to uniquely identify the model of phone being used (although some models may have more than one code, depending on revision, manufacturing location, and other factors).  Since the sequence is 6 digit the spreadsheet assumes that each time a new sequence is observed that makes another million being built.  Since 1 million were sold in the first 3 days you would expect a shift to a 2nd sequence also there was a range of production of 500-800K per week estimates and rumors that production began in May with a possible 2 week delay for some part which shifted the date of release from the end of June to the 11th of Jul.  Put that all together and mix it up and we really don’t know.  But the Iphone has used 612, 613, 614, 712, 713, 714, 742 and now 776 which equals 8 sequences of 6 digits.  How many sold your guess.

It seems they also used 743 and 744

pats,

You’re amazing.  I didn’t expect anyone to know the answer.  Let expand Andy’s IMEI:

IMEI 01-177600-190685-0

01=USA
177600 is the TAC
190685 is a serialized number from 0 to 999999
0=checksum

Am I correct?

And what does TAC stand for, pardon my ignorance.
