Summary
Counterpoint expects Apple to sell 6 million foldable iPhone Duo units in 2026, with demand led by existing iPhone Pro users and early adopters.
The device's $1,999 price — about $100 above Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 — was called a bold launch move that keeps Apple's first foldable just under the $2,000 mark.
Apple's entry is expected to revive a weakening foldables segment and turn it into the fastest-growing part of smartphones.
Global smartphone shipments are forecast to drop 16.7% this year, while foldables are projected to grow 12.6% in 2026.
