On the news front, a team of equity analysts at JPMorgan led by Samik Chatterjee pointed out in a report released on Friday: "Early demand indicators suggest that this shipment cycle is not only expected to exceed our initial expectations (which had already factored in the digestion issue after the early pull-in of iPhone 16 series shipments) but also that iPhone 17 series shipments have room for year-over-year growth."

JPMorgan analysts also stated that, driven by a more optimistic shipment outlook, they now forecast iPhone shipments for fiscal year 2026 to reach 236 million units, a slight increase of about 2% year-over-year. Combined with positive factors from the model mix, this will support mid-to-high single-digit growth in iPhone revenue.
