Apple's Foldable iPhone Faces Supply Shortages and Delivery Delays into 2027
Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, is experiencing significant supply shortages, leading to delivery delays extending into 2027. Despite strong demand described as "extraordinary," Apple has not provided a clear timeline for when supply will meet demand. Production is increasing, but challenges include complex manufacturing and rising memory chip costs driven by AI industry demand. US carriers like Verizon have offered compensation to affected customers amid ongoing wait times.
