The report only stated that all model inventory was quickly cleared after the device officially went on sale.20
Apple2026-09-10 09:21:41iPhone Duo supply chain gains are uneven, with hinge maker Shin Zu Shing standing outApple unveiled its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, on Sept. 9, with a starting price of $1,999, preorders set for Oct. 16, and retail sales beginning Oct. 23. Goldman Sachs estimated first-year shipments at 14 million units in a base case and 35 million in a bullish case, but the potential upside for suppliers is not evenly distributed. The biggest direct beneficiary, according to the report, is Shin Zu Shing because the hinge is a new component that does not exist in standard iPhone models. The hinge is described as one of the hardest parts to manufacture in a foldable phone. It contains about 100 components and uses materials including liquid metal alloy, titanium, and stainless steel. Media reports citing supply-chain sources said a joint venture between Shin Zu Shing and Foxconn subsidiary FII secured about 65% of orders, while Amphenol took the remaining 35%. By contrast, suppliers already present across the broader iPhone lineup, such as TSMC and Foxconn, may see only incremental gains. Samsung Display is supplying foldable OLED panels under an exclusive three-year deal, leaving Taiwanese panel makers out of that segment entirely. The report also noted that shipment forecasts vary sharply, from 6 million to 35 million units, making precise profit estimates difficult at this stage.990

It will support Apple Pencil and come in two color options: dark blue and white. The report identifies Apple under the ticker AAPL.O and frames the information as Gurman’s latest disclosure on the company’s foldable handset plans. No other specifications or release-market details were provided in the source input.910
