AAPL boosts foldable iPhone production to 10 million units and secures components for 80 million devices ahead of 2026 launches.
Apple plans to introduce at least five new iPhone models by early 2027, including a foldable device. The company has increased production targets for its foldable iPhone to 10 million units and secured components for approximately 80 million smartphones slated for the second half of 2026.
Total iPhone production for 2026 may exceed 220 million units, reflecting Apple’s strong supply chain leverage amid AI-driven memory shortages. The tech giant has also explored Chinese chip suppliers to mitigate supply constraints, outperforming competitors in navigating shortages.
Apple’s scale and purchasing power continue to strengthen its position in the smartphone market, supporting long-term growth projections.
