On June 19, esteemed Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo disclosed that Apple's supplier, Hon Hai Precision (also known as Foxconn), intends to initiate production of the highly anticipated 'Foldable iPhone' by the close of the third quarter or the onset of the fourth quarter of 2025. In response to market speculations suggesting that Apple has already secured orders for 15-20 million units of this innovative model, Kuo clarified that, based on his thorough understanding of the component supply chain, this figure likely reflects the total anticipated demand across a 2-3 year product lifecycle, rather than being confined to the year 2026 alone.
