Apple Stock News: Strong Demand
Apple Stock News: iPhone sales in China increased by 37% in October, with one out of every four smartphones sold being an Apple device. This market share level was last seen in 2022 due to high demand for new iPhone 17 models, contributing significantly to double-digit growth rates. New iPhone models accounted for over 80% of Apple’s total units sold. Despite upcoming competition from Huawei’s Mate 80 series launch, analysts highlight the strong momentum driving Apple’s success in the Chinese market. Overall, China’s smartphone market saw an 8% increase, driven both by Apple’s iPhone 17 series and domestic brands such as Xiaomi.
Foldable iPhone
Next year’s foldable iPhone may feature a large battery between 5,400–5,800 mAh, making it Apple’s highest-capacity model yet. According to leaks, Apple prioritizes battery life and power efficiency while keeping the phone thin. Compared to competitors like Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold (5,015 mAh) and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (4,400 mAh), Apple’s battery could provide better endurance. Key specs include a 7.8-inch main screen, 5.5-inch cover display, Touch ID side-button integration, and four cameras. The device might debut alongside iPhone 18 Pro models in Fall 2026.
AppleCare+
Apple expanded its AppleCare+ program in India, introducing monthly and annual plans, as well as theft and loss protection for iPhone for the first time. Users can now replace batteries, receive 24/7 priority support, and enjoy unlimited repairs for accidental damage. Pricing starts at INR 799. Options are available directly through the Settings app.
