A new TrendForce report says the iPhone Duo is expected to capture 24,8% of the foldable smartphone market in 2026 alone, countering a 20% slump in the segment. Here are the details.
iPhone Duo expected to ship 5 million units by the end of 2026
Following yesterday’s announcement of the iPhone Duo, TrendForce published a report today predicting that Apple will capture 24,8% of the foldable smartphone segment by the end of the year.
TrendForce expects Apple to ship 5 million units of the iPhone Duo in 2026, helping offset a segment-wide slowdown due to “sharp increases in component costs”:
TrendForce forecasts global foldable smartphone shipments of approximately 20.2 million units in 2026, up just 0.5% YoY. Excluding Apple, combined shipments from Android brands are expected to reach only around 15.2 million units, down more than 20% YoY.
