Apple Plans 10M Titanium-Alloy iPhone Fold for 2026, Boosting Titanium Demand

【SMM Titanium Flash】Apple's first folding screen iPhone Fold is planned to be released in the autumn of 2026. The frame will largely adopt titanium alloy, and the hinge system will be made of titanium alloy combined with stainless steel to enhance its resistance to bending. Due to positive market feedback, Apple has raised its production preparation target to approximately 10 million units, significantly exceeding the previously expected 7 to 8 million units. This move will significantly boost the procurement volume of upstream titanium materials and increase the capacity utilization rate of titanium alloy processing enterprises. As Apple leads the trend of titanium alloy application in folding screens, the Android camp may accelerate its follow-up, and the basic consumption of high-end titanium materials in the 3C field is expected to further expand.
