Lingyi iTech revealed as supplier for Apple's foldable iPhone Duo; shares surge toward daily limit
At around 11:04 a.m. on September 10, Lingyi iTech suddenly shot higher, with its share price flipping from negative to positive in an instant and climbing more than 9% within 10 minutes, approaching the daily limit. According to media reports citing industry chain sources, Lingyi iTech is a supplier for Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, providing core precision components for the new-generation device, including hinge precision structural parts, screen support plates, and ultra-thin vapor chambers, with per-unit value higher than that of a bar phone. The consumer electronics industry saw a rare concentrated launch window this week: in the early hours of September 10, Apple held its fall 2026 event, unveiling its first foldable iPhone Duo and the iPhone 18 Pro series. The iPhone Duo is the thinnest iPhone ever, starting at 15,999 yuan, while the iPhone 18 Pro series features a 2-nanometer A20 Pro chip and starts at 9,999 yuan. Huawei and Xiaomi held their fall product launches on Monday, meaning the three giants rolled out flagship products within one week, with foldable phones at the center of this round of competition. Earlier reports said Apple had raised its 2026 foldable iPhone stocking target from 7 million to 8 million units to about 10 million units, though initial production ramp-up still faces challenges due to extremely strict quality control standards. Well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects shipments in the third quarter of this year to be only about 500,000 to 1 million units, constrained by hinge and flexible screen assembly yields. Counterpoint Research data shows that cumulative global foldable phone shipments will surpass 100 million units by the end of 2026, up 24% year on year.

Multiple A-share listed companies cross over to acquire Dongguan liquid cooling plants, targeting the AI computing heat dissipation track
Over the past six months, at least six A-share listed companies have entered the liquid cooling sector through mergers, acquisitions, or capital increases, all with ties to Dongguan. These include Wuyang Automation planning to acquire 51 percent of Dongguan Kesyu Liquid Cooling Technology for 681 million yuan in cash, Lucky Harvest Technology planning to acquire 51 percent of Suzhou Coolchip Technology, Jinfu Technology acquiring 51 percent of two liquid cooling targets for 571 million yuan, and Lingyi iTech acquiring 35 percent of Dongguan Liminda Electronic Technology for 875 million yuan to gain control. This wave is driven by soaring chip power in the AI computing era, as traditional air cooling approaches its physical limits and liquid cooling becomes the inevitable choice. Nvidia's intelligent computing chip single-card power has risen from 400 watts for the A100 to 1,400 watts for the B300. Dongguan, with its precision manufacturing base, has become a focal point for the liquid cooling industry. Qishi Town has gathered 33 core heat dissipation companies and 53 upstream and downstream supporting enterprises. In 2025, the town's total AI heat dissipation industry output reached 7.494 billion yuan, and it was selected as a provincial-level small and medium-sized enterprise characteristic cluster for 2026 by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology. Dongguan's server production in 2025 approached 600,000 units, with the entire industry chain output nearing 100 billion yuan. The city has issued its first special support policy for the AI server industry, proposing that the output of related industries exceed 500 billion yuan by 2030. In the regional competitive landscape of the liquid cooling industry, North American system integrators lead, Taiwan region of China dominates in large-scale manufacturing, and mainland China is rapidly catching up. Dongguan is narrowing the gap through its industrial cluster but faces fierce competition from cities like Shenzhen and Suzhou.
