Deepwater Asset Management Managing Partner Gene Munster called the new iPhone Duo Apple's most crucial hardware release since AirPods in December 2016, doubling his fiscal 2027 revenue share estimate for the device from 5% to 10%. The foldable smartphone starts at $1,999 and peaks at $3,199, with a leasing option priced at approximately $58 per month. Preorders are scheduled to begin on October 16, with official sales launching on October 23 across more than 70 markets.

DYAX 전담 분석
Apple's new iPhone Duo launch and price increases are expected to lead to margin improvements and revenue expansion centered around the high-end lineup. In particular, the high price tag of $1,999 and the $58-per-month lease program are projected to induce a shift among Pro Max buyers, boosting total 2027 revenue by 2.5%.
Future stock trajectory will be determined by initial sales figures after pre-orders begin on October 16. Key points to watch are the success of high-priced products, the ability to offset rising memory costs, and whether the market expectation of 20% growth for the March 2027 quarter will be met.
