Foxconn Electronics has reportedly landed orders for the assembly of the 3G iPhone with shipments beginning in June, according to the Chinese-language Commercial Times.

The Commercial Times also cited sources at component suppliers which said they have been instructed by Apple to begin preparing material supplies by the end of May.

Shipments of the 3G iPhone are expected to top three million units in June with the 3G iPhone likely to ship a total of 24-25 million units throughout its life-cycle, the paper added.

It is widely rumored that the 3G iPhone will be announced during Steve Job's WWDC08 Keynote Address.

Foxconn is currently the sole manufacturer of first-generation iPhones.

@alaa_eliwaa: that, my friend, is called marketing. Everybody wants a 2G iPhone the first year and the next year everybody wants a 3G iPhone. Doing so, Apple has double profit and we don't even complain about it cuz we want this new stuff :)
