The company targets 95 million foldable units as part of a broader strategy to achieve 10 percent growth in iPhone shipments. Current projections suggest total iPhone deliveries could reach 265 million units, up from 241 million expected in 2025. The device will feature a horizontal folding design resembling connected iPhone Air models, with pricing above $2,000. Market research indicates consumer hesitation toward foldable technology despite Huawei capturing 48 percent of the segment. Survey data from 5,000 respondents across five countries shows that only 23 percent express interest in foldable devices. Industry analysts forecast 54 percent growth in foldable smartphone shipments for 2026. [/QUOTE]
