Apple plans to manufacture and sell around 10 million foldable iPhone Ultra models, according to a new report. That’s roughly a third more than the average build targets previously expected.
Nikkei Asia reports that Apple has raised the foldable iPhone production target to around 10 million units. Previous estimates ranged from 7 to 8 million units.
Apple has told suppliers to prepare to produce about 10 million foldable iPhones this year, up from a previous forecast of some 7 million to 8 million units a few months ago, sources familiar with the matter said.
The report adds another 70 million units would consist of the new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
The additional 80 million units of new iPhone models being introduced in the second half of 2026 would bring the total units ordered for the year to 220 million, per the report. IDC recently forecasted that Apple would ship close to 240 million iPhones in 2026.
