Recently, foreign media reported that Apple has told suppliers that it is preparing to produce about 10 million foldable iPhones this year. This figure is higher than the 7 million to 8 million units previously predicted. Furthermore, Apple even requires supply chain manufacturers to reserve production capacity for parts that can produce 80 million iPhones for the second half of 2026, including the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the first foldable iPhone. According to the report, the tech giant's total production of mobile phones is expected to exceed 220 million units in 2026. However, many people in the industry chain also expressed a cautious attitude about the shipment volume of Apple Plus's first folding iPhone. Lin Keyu, senior analyst at Counterpoint, said, “The shipment target of 10 million units is a bit too much. It may be that the inventory of certain parts and components has been increased. Currently, it is estimated that Apple will ship about 6 million to 7 million units of folding screens in 2026.”
