Here’s how many iPhone Duo units Apple is reportedly making

A Chinese report by Jiemian News sheds light on the production of the upcoming iPhone Duo. Pre-orders for the device are set to begin on October 16, just two weeks away. However, production has been facing challenges due to the complex assembly process involved. Currently, the assembly yield stands at over 60%, but suppliers expect it to take six months or longer to reach a "mature" level.

This is significantly lower than the expected yields for other models, which could be attributed to the iPhone Duo's innovative design and components. Apple aims to have 6-8 million units ready for 2026, compared to the 20-30 million units typical for flagship models like the Pro or Pro Max. With a starting price of $1,999, the iPhone Duo is not targeting as wide a user base as those models.

The overall foldable market is still considered niche. Apple's reluctance to relax quality standards for the iPhone Duo may lead to production shortages during the launch, but it is unlikely to deter customers who are willing to pay a premium for the highest quality product.
