Apple Event 2026 impact: Redington shares jump 5% after Apple unveils first-ever foldable iPhone
Apple’s entry into the foldable smartphone market could benefit Redington, a key Apple distribution partner in India and other markets. Analysts expect the launch to boost consumer awareness and confidence in foldables, although Samsung is likely to retain its dominance in the near term. IDC expects Apple to ship around 10 million units in the first 12 months.
On Thursday, Redington shares surged more than 5% following Apple's announcement of its first-ever foldable iPhone, dubbed the iPhone Duo. The innovative device boasts a unique book-style folding design, merging a traditional cover display with a larger screen that opens to offer a tablet-like viewing experience. Analysts anticipate that the iPhone Duo could make a significant impact in the highly competitive foldable smartphone market, currently dominated by Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold and Huawei's lineup.
