Foldable Phone Shipments Forecast to Reach 100 Million in 2026, With Apple Tipped for 25% Share

Global foldable phone shipments are projected to reach 100 million units in 2026, according to recent estimates that also point to strong demand for Apple’s anticipated entry into the category.

The Apple foldable, referred to in the estimates as the “iPhone Duo,” could see shipments of around 6 million units. Demand is expected to be strong from its market debut.

The forecasts also put Apple’s potential share of the foldable phone market at 25%, suggesting it could become a major competitor in the segment.

The figures remain projections rather than confirmed sales results. The available estimates do not specify the period covered by the 6 million-unit shipment forecast or explain how it aligns with the projected 25% market share.
