I have seen a number of analysts at the 70m mark for the Dec quarter (37% YoY growth). It doesn't seem unreasonable
Sure it seems unreasonable. Assume

1) There are very few iPhone 6's on the shelves these days
2) The subcontractors can make 600,000 iPhones/day
3) There are 90 days in the quarter

That means they can only produce 54,000,000 iPhones in the quarter.

Where are the other 16M iPhones going to come from?

And that's if they sell every iPhone 6 that they make for the entire quarter.

Saying nonsense like 70M is just setting up the straw man for a fail.
