Apple iPhone Duo orders increased 30%，iPhone 18 Pro series total unchanged
BlockBeats reports that October 10, according to Apple’s supply chain, Apple has structurally adjusted 2026 autumn smartphone launch orders: it increased orders for iPhone Duo by 30%, but the total still did not exceed 10000000 units, and reduced orders for iPhone 18 Pro by 10%—15%; at the same time, it increased orders for iPhone 18 Pro Max by 10%—15%，iPhone 18 Pro series total orders remained unchanged.
An Apple supply chain source said, “This means sales are shifting toward higher-value products, which is therefore broadly positive for the performance of Apple’s supply chain companies.”

Why it matters to readers
If the report is accurate, Apple’s new product orders may shift toward higher-value products and affect the order mix of related supply chain companies.
Order changes can help indicate a manufacturer’s assessment of demand for different products, but orders do not equal final sales or performance.
