Summary
TrendForce forecasts Apple’s first foldable iPhone will ship about 5 million units in 2026, giving the iPhone Duo a 24.8% share and making Apple the No. 2 foldable brand.
That gain comes even as the overall foldable market is expected to reach only 20.2 million units in 2026, up just 0.5%, with Android brands excluding Apple projected to drop more than 20% to 15.2 million.
Samsung is still expected to lead with 7.1 million shipments and a 35.1% share, while Huawei is seen matching Apple at roughly 5 million units and 24.8%.
Apple’s entry could speed investment in displays, ultra-thin glass, hinges and other components, pushing suppliers to expand manufacturing and prompting rivals to rethink foldable strategies.
John Ternus unveiled the iPhone Duo on Wednesday as Apple’s first foldable iPhone, featuring matched inner and outer display ratios, a titanium frame and a hinge designed to keep the screen flat.
