According to Nikkei Asia, Apple raised its foldable iPhone production target to 10 million units this week, up sharply from the previously estimated 7–8 million units. The move drove Apple's stock price up 12% over the past five trading days, adding approximately $491.7 billion to its market value.
Meanwhile, Apple faces a significant security breach. Reuters reported that a hacker group stole confidential data from Tata Electronics, Apple's key supplier and primary manufacturing partner in India, including unreleased iPhone 18 Pro supply chain details and testing materials photographed in early 2026. At least six documents disclosed exclusive suppliers for iPhone 18 Pro components including processors, batteries, and camera modules, along with internal codenames marked as confidential.
