APPLE’S $1,999 FOLDABLE FACES DEMAND TEST • • Apple’s new iPhone Duo starts at $1,999, but analysts question whether its appeal can extend beyond wealthy early adopters. • • Counterpoint still expects Apple to sell nearly 6 million units by year-end, potentially capturing 25% of the global foldable market on pent-up demand and brand strength alone.
Taiwanese hinge manufacturer Shin Zu Shing has become the main supplier of hinges for Apple's first foldable phone, the "iPhone Duo," replacing Amphenol, a US company with low yield rates. However, Shin Zu Shing's production capacity remains unstable, and currently it can only ship "golden samples" that meet Apple's standards to Foxconn. The hinge is the most critical component causing delays in iPhone Duo production. Apple uses 3D-printed hinge modules, which contain over 100 parts. Due to the change of the primary supplier, Shin Zu Shing must produce according to the specifications previously agreed upon by Amphenol and Apple, which is more challenging. In addition, the supply of the back plate supporting the folding panel is also tight, and China's Lingyi Intelligent Manufacturing is experiencing difficulties in mass production. Despite the continued disruptions to some parts, Apple has estimated to its supply chain that it can produce approximately 5 to 6 million units of the necessary components by the end of this year. The iPhone Duo was announced on October 9th, with pre-orders starting on October 16th and sales beginning on October 23rd. In South Korea, the 256GB version is priced at 3.29 million won, but industry insiders believe that the 512GB version is the actual base model, priced at around 3.6 million won.
