Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL, XETRA:APC) was the focus of a supply-chain preview from Citi on Friday, highlighting the upcoming iPhone 18 family as a key catalyst for component suppliers. With shares trading at $328.21, the iPhone 18 lineup is expected to launch on 9 September , featuring Pro models priced roughly $200 higher than their predecessors. At the centre of the preview is the tech giant's first foldable device, likely to be called the iPhone Ultra, which the bank expects to have a starting price above $2,000. That foldable flagship is projected to feature dual front and dual rear cameras alongside an inner foldable display fitted with an ultra-thin glass and OLED cover. Major hardware upgrades across the range could include A20 chips, an Apple-designed modem, and a variable-aperture main camera for the Pro and Pro Max models. Following supply-chain underperformance during the June to August restocking period, the note states that the sector is likely to see a rally before launch and potential profit-taking afterwards. Suppliers tied to the foldable device may face tight initial component supply and extended lead times, particularly for batteries, vapour chamber heatsinks, and structural parts. Within the production network, Citi highlighted a preference for major share and content gainers such as Lens Tech, Lingyi, Amphenol, Largan, Sunny, AAC, Alps Alpine, Kioxia, Luxshare, and TSMC. Crucial upcoming catalysts for the sector include initial sales and shipping schedules, as well as subsequent supply chain order adjustments.

AI 시장 분석

씨티는 애플의 아이폰 18 시리즈 및 첫 폴더블폰 출시를 앞두고 핵심 공급망 수혜주를 발표했다. 9월 9일 출시 예정인 신제품은 고가 모델 중심의 가격 인상과 대규모 하드웨어 업그레이드를 포함하여 부품 공급업체들의 실적 개선을 이끌 것으로 전망된다. 투자자들은 출시 전 랠리와 출시 후 차익실현 움직임에 대비하여 주요 부품 공급사의 수주 동향을 면밀히 모니터링해야 한다.

DYAX 전담 분석

씨티의 분석에 따르면 애플의 328.21달러 주가와 함께 2,000달러를 상회하는 폴더블폰 '아이폰 울트라' 및 A20 칩 등의 하드웨어 업그레이드는 TSMC와 렌즈테크 등 주요 부품 공급업체의 매출 성장을 직접적으로 견인할 것이다. 특히 6월에서 8월 사이 부진했던 공급망이 출시 전 랠리를 보일 것으로 예상되는 한편, 배터리 및 베이퍼 챔버 등 일부 부품의 공급 부족 리스크가 존재한다.

강세 시나리오는 초기 출하량이 시장 예상을 상회하며 공급망 전체의 주가가 급등하는 것이고, 약세 시나리오는 부품 공급 차질과 출시 후 차익실현 매물로 인해 주가가 조정을 받는 것이다. 주요 관전 포인트는 초기 판매량 수치와 10월 이후의 공급망 주문 조정 추이다.
