Counterpoint Sees 6M iPhone Duo Sales in 2026 as UBS Flags Flattish Pro Wait Times
AAPL sits 38% above its 52-week low of $243.42.
Summary
Counterpoint Research's first estimate puts iPhone Duo sales at 6 million units this year, with panel procurement for the iPhone 18 line up modestly year-over-year. The foldable starts at $1,999 and launches Oct 23 after pre-orders Oct 16. UBS Evidence Lab data shows iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max wait times roughly flat week-over-week, with the US Pro down ~2 days and China Pro Max down 4 days year-over-year — potentially signaling consumers are holding out for the Duo. UBS maintains a Neutral rating and $296 price target. This is the first concrete third-party sales estimate for Apple's first foldable, giving traders an early read on demand ahead of the launch.
