Jeff Pu is able to confirm that the three smartphones launched by Apple in September will feature an A20 Pro chip. We also find 12 GB of LPD5 memory and the C2 modem for 5G.
The folding iPhone differs from the Pro by its larger screen once unfolded, as well as the absence of Face ID and Dynamic Island in favor of Touch ID. Furthermore, the chassis of the device would include both titanium and aluminum, cheaper and better for heat dissipation. Obviously, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt.even if they come from a rather reliable source.
Jeff Pu also delivers his predictions for smartphone sales in 2026. He expects a 4% drop in shipments “ mainly due to the impact of memory costs in a sluggish end market, especially for low and mid-range Android device sales “.
Despite this context, Apple would manage to sell 250 million iPhones in 2026an increase of 2% compared to 2025. Remember that the company Counterpoint Research recently indicated that iPhone sales would drop by 2.2% in 2026 compared to last year.
