The expanded production plan is part of a lineup expected to include at least five new iPhone models.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Apple&#8217;s reported production increase comes as smartphone makers accelerate investments in foldable devices despite ongoing constraints in the global supply of key components. The premium foldable segment has been led by Samsung Electronics (SSNLF), while Chinese manufacturers, including Huawei, have also expanded their offerings.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">The reported strategy suggests Apple is aiming to strengthen its position in the premium smartphone market by entering the foldable category at greater scale. Apple shares rose about 1.7% in the previous trading session, while the company has not publicly commented on the reported production plans.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
