Apple's Foldable iPhone Shipment Forecast
- Shipment Forecast: According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's latest supply chain survey, Apple’s foldable iPhone is projected to ship 7 to 8 million units in the second half of 2026, with only 500,000 to 1 million units expected in Q3, indicating that production bottlenecks will limit early supply and could lead to immediate sellouts upon pre-order.
- Market Sentiment: Despite strong demand expectations for the foldable iPhone through the end of 2026, retail sentiment for AAPL dipped from neutral to bearish on Monday, reflecting cautious investor attitudes towards the new product launch, even as message volume surged by 40% over the past week.
- Pricing and Competition: Kuo estimates the foldable iPhone will retail between $2,300 and $2,500, which may attract some high-end consumers; however, compared to the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, which are expected to ship 20 to 22 million units in Q3, the foldable model faces significant competitive pressure in the market.
- Launch and Sales Strategy: Apple is likely to announce the foldable iPhone in September, but due to manufacturing challenges, actual sales may be delayed until Q4, mirroring the launch strategy of the iPhone X in 2017, meaning consumers may have to wait weeks to receive the new device, further impacting market expectations.
