The iPhone is selling like the proverbial hot cakes and has topped 4 million but it’s doubtful that the trendy phone will hit its original, lofty sales estimates of 10 million units in a year.

Steve Jobs said at Macworld Expo 2008 that the iPhone is selling at an average of 20,000 units a day which is impressive but with just five months to go until it turns one it’s unlikely that the iPhone will sell another 6 million. After all, the foolish Season that is Christmas

has passed and there’s no other shopping spell like it. So far, UK punters have said the iPhone is too expensive.

A recent story by The Mail on Sunday has just claimed that Apple “gagged” UK iPhone partners, O2 and Carphone Warehouse, from discussing sales figures considering of poor UK sales.

It’s somewhat telling that Jobs was expected to break out some European sales figures for the device at Macworld that week but, quite noticeably, didn’t.
