what happened
Citing TheFly, Stocktwits reports that Evercore ISI said iPhone Duo delivery dates quickly moved to late January, roughly 100 days out, across all regions and configurations the firm tracks. The analyst views this as positive for Apple, while warning that long lead times can reflect either strong demand or tight supply due to the new form factor. The Outperform rating and $380 price target were maintained.
Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management estimates 20 million Duo units for fiscal 2027, compared with a Street estimate of 10 million, which would be about 8% of Apple's iPhone unit sales next year. He also said iPhone 18 Pro lead times have fallen sharply, and that Pro Max lead times are now roughly in line with last year's model.
Apple shares gained 0.4% in Friday's regular session and were up more than 2% over the week.
why it matters
For Apple investors, the key question is whether production can scale for the new form factor, since Munster said Apple's capacity remains unknown. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits toward Apple stock was described as extremely bearish at the time of writing.
