Apple has officially entered the foldable market with the iPhone Duo, a $1,999 device featuring a 7.6-inch display that goes on sale October 23. While Morgan Stanley predicts the launch could drive $14 billion in revenue, analysts warn that supply limitations may push major shipments into late Q4, complicating the immediate financial impact.

  • According to GN technics/mobile (en-US), Morgan Stanley projects the new device could contribute approximately $14 billion to Apple's December-quarter revenue, potentially accounting for 16% of total iPhone sales during that period. The report further estimates initial production volumes at 7 million to 8 million units for the second half of the year, with analysts noting that supply constraints may delay significant shipments until later in Q4.
