Granted it's somewhere upward of the 25 million quoted to end of June.

28.7 million by Apple's Q3, which ended in June 2011.
They were averaging around 3 million/month last quarter.

You do remember correctly. They have been caught actually on the other end-not enough inventory on both the iPhone 4 and the iPad and iPad 2. Production has been the issue, not excess inventory.
Apple's 10Ks and post earnings conference calls are pretty candid about sales numbers and inventory goals (and of course gross margins), at least for products that are doing well for them.
