IDC Senior Director of Data & Analytics Nabila Popal predicts 7M iPhone Duo sales in 2026, according to Bloomberg. She said Apple’s results beating analyst expectations were not surprising. IDC’s preliminary shipment data showed iPhones outperforming a smartphone market that suffered a historic 21% decline in calendar Q3, while Apple’s shipments fell only 4%. Popal spoke with Kailey Leinz and Ed Ludlow on “The Close.”
