iPhone Duo could take nearly 30% of global foldable smartphone shipments in 2027

TrendForce expects Apple's share of global foldable shipments to climb from 24.8% in 2026 to 29.8% in 2027, with Samsung still first. It estimates about five million iPhone Duo shipments in 2026. The firm says early feedback is mixed: users praise split-screen functionality, while some apps leave black borders. Reports of damaged displays and high repair estimates have also raised concerns about ownership costs.
