Apple is expected to sell about 6 million units of its inaugural foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, in 2026, according to Counterpoint Research. The estimate is presented as the first market forecast for how the device could perform once it enters broader sales.
Counterpoint says the projected volume depends largely on Apple’s ability to scale production and ramp manufacturing capacity for the new foldable hardware. The reporting from both outlets focuses on that production ramp as a key variable that could affect how quickly the iPhone Duo becomes available in sufficient quantities.
Beyond the headline figure, the coverage does not diverge materially on the central point: the 6 million-unit forecast is tied to execution on supply and production. No other figures or alternative forecasts are cited in the provided summaries, and the articles do not specify additional details such as pricing, regional breakdowns, or sales timing beyond the 2026 timeframe.
