> Apple expects more iPhone Duo buyers than it first planned for, and pre-orders haven't started. Pro Max orders went up as Pro orders went down, which leaves the Pro line flat.

Apple has raised its [iPhone Duo](https://idevice.com/phones/iphone-fold/roadmap) orders with suppliers by 30%, the Chinese financial paper Securities Times reported. Pre-orders open Friday, October 16. The paper put total Duo supply for the rest of 2026 at no more than 10 million units, and against [earlier estimates of six to seven million](https://9to5mac.com/2026/10/12/apple-has-reportedly-increased-its-iphone-duo-orders-by-30/), that puts Apple's new target close to the cap.

The same supply chain sources said iPhone 18 Pro Max orders are up 10% to 15% and [iPhone 18 Pro](https://idevice.com/phones/iphone-pro/roadmap) orders are down by about as much, so the total for the Pro line hasn't moved. That doesn't match [Nikkei Asia's report last week](https://idevice.com/apple-reportedly-trims-iphone-18-pro-part-orders-after-its-100-price-rise) that Apple cut October component orders for both Pro phones by 15% to 20%. A bigger Duo order means more of the foldable to go around this year than Apple first planned. If you want one at launch, Friday is still the day to order.
