Overseas reports say Apple told suppliers to prepare to produce about 10 mln foldable iPhones this year, above prior 7–8 mln estimates. The reports also say Apple asked suppliers to reserve capacity to make 80 mln iPhones in H2 2026, covering iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max and its first foldable, and that total 2026 handset output could exceed 220 mln.
