Apple Raises iPhone Duo Orders 30% to Nearly 10 Million Units as Demand Outruns Forecasts

Summary
Apple has lifted iPhone Duo supply-chain orders by 30%, with total 2026 output now reportedly approaching 10 million units ahead of pre-orders opening on Oct. 16.
The increase suggests Apple expects stronger demand than its original plan of roughly 6 million to 7 million units, even before pre-orders begin.
Supply-chain sources also told Securities Times that iPhone 18 Pro Max orders rose 10% to 15%, while iPhone 18 Pro orders were cut by a similar amount.
Those shifts leave the overall iPhone 18 Pro lineup supply target unchanged, contradicting a recent Nikkei Asia report and pointing to a mix change rather than a broader production increase.
