Apple plans to launch five new iPhone models through 2027, including its first foldable device, according to reports. The company is aiming to broaden its lineup and defend its share of the global smartphone market.
The reports say Apple wants to diversify its supply chain amid a persistent memory-chip shortage and is weighing purchases from Chinese manufacturers CXMT and YMTC. Rising memory prices are squeezing costs across the device industry.
Analysts note that turning to Chinese suppliers is a step that must be managed carefully given geopolitical sensitivities. Apple has not commented officially on the plans, and any final decision could become clearer in the coming months.
