AAPL--
The iPhone 17’s early sales trajectory has surprised analysts, with units running ahead of the iPhone 16 by 10% to 15%. This strong demand has led to plans to increase production by approximately 20% for both standard and Pro iPhone 17 models [1]. According to Ives, Asian supply chain checks indicate that Apple is responding to the demand signal by boosting production.
A significant factor contributing to this demand is the substantial pent-up consumer demand. An estimated 315 million iPhone users have not upgraded their devices in four years, creating a large addressable market for the iPhone 17 cycle [1]. Additionally, the new iPhone Air model has emerged as a potential standout, with strong demand signals from retail stores [2].
While Wedbush remains optimistic, other analysts have taken a more cautious approach. JPMorgan, for instance, increased its Apple price target to $280, projecting a 2% year-over-year iPhone volume growth for fiscal 2026 [1]. UBS took a more conservative stance with a $220 target and a Neutral rating, noting mixed iPhone 17 preorder signals [2].
Despite the mixed signals, Wall Street maintains a Moderate Buy rating on Apple stock, with an average price target of $248.74. However, shares remain down approximately 3% year-to-date [1].

Apple AAPL stock has received a significant boost following a recent upgrade in its price target by Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives. The analyst raised the target to $310 from $270, citing strong early demand for the iPhone 17, which is outpacing the iPhone 16 by 10-15% [1].The iPhone 17’s early sales trajectory has surprised analysts, with units running ahead of the iPhone 16 by 10% to 15%.
