Strong pre-orders have reportedly prompted Apple to order millions more iPhone Duo units from suppliers, according to DigiTimes.
Supply chain sources said Foxconn and component manufacturers had received instructions reflecting a roughly 44% increase from 9.7 million to 14 million devices. The revised target reportedly follows strong pre-orders for Apple’s first foldable iPhone and covers a full 12-month period, rather than the remainder of 2026.
Apple last week described demand as “nothing short of extraordinary.” Within 30 minutes of pre-orders opening on October 16, U.S. shipping estimates had reached January 25 across all configurations.
Meeting the higher shipment target could still prove challenging. DigiTimes said output would depend on assembly progress, following earlier reports of manufacturing difficulties affecting assembly, displays, and hinges.
‌DigiTimes‌ forecasts that global foldable smartphone shipments will grow 25.7% in 2026 and 59.1% in 2027, compared with 7.4% growth in 2025, with Apple’s entry expected to contribute to the expansion.
The ‌iPhone Duo‌ launches on October 23, starting at $1,999 in the United States.
