Apple摺疊iPhone更新:1. 組裝廠商鴻海預計在3Q25底或4Q25初正式開案,目前仍有不少零組件的完整規格尚未定案,包括市場關注的軸承。2. 目前用折疊螢幕推估折疊iPhone出貨量有較好的參考性,因其是少數規格完全定案的零組件之一。Samsung Display (SDC) 預計將建置每年約7-800萬片折疊螢幕的產能,供折疊iPhone所用。因2026年實際生產時間可能僅數個月,2026年折疊iPhone螢幕出貨量應會低於年產能。3. 市場近期傳言Apple下單1,500-2,000萬部的折疊iPhone訂單,經過對數種零組件調查指出,這種等級的訂單規模是指生命週期 (2-3年) 的訂單總量,而非2026年出貨量。這代表Apple預計在2H26量產的折疊iPhone,或許是高單價因素,該機型在2027與2028年的年出貨量均為數百萬部。4. 需注意的是,在正式開案前,一切改變都有可能。郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo):Apple的首款折疊iPhone預測:市場定位、硬體規格、開發時程、出貨預估點擊閱讀https://t.co/7tIVjHkqQr https:// ...
