Apple is positioned to secure nearly 30 percent of the global foldable smartphone market by 2027, 9to5Mac reported, citing data from research firm TrendForce. The projection follows strong initial demand for Apple's first foldable device, the iPhone Duo. [1]
TrendForce previously estimated that Apple would ship 5 million iPhone Duo units by the end of 2026, one day after Apple announced the product last month. That initial shipment volume would give Apple a 24.8 percent share of the foldable market segment in 2026, 9to5Mac reported. [1]
The projections indicate that Apple will quickly become a dominant player in the foldable hardware sector shortly after entering the market. TrendForce noted that the broader foldable smartphone market is expected to expand alongside Apple's entry into the category. [1]
