Apple targets 10M iPhone Fold units amid production ramp-up

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple is reportedly increasing production targets for its upcoming iPhone Fold to approximately 10 million units, a significant jump from earlier estimates. This aggressive production goal, nearly double that of Samsung's entire foldable lineup, suggests Apple is confident in the device's market potential despite the unproven nature of foldables for the company. The increased target comes as suppliers have reportedly resolved hinge engineering issues, and Apple appears to be banking on its strong brand loyalty to justify a high price point, potentially around $2,400, even with concerns about rapid depreciation common to foldable phones.
