Apple is set to unveil its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, next month. Pre-orders for the device will open on October 16, with deliveries beginning on October 23. However, a recent analyst report suggests that supply for the iPhone Duo could be significantly limited at launch. According to research by analyst Jeff Pu, the production of iPhone Duo units is expected to be only 6 million, a stark contrast to his previous estimate of 7 million.
The primary reason for this reduction is attributed to "hinge constraints" leading to production delays. By comparison, Apple anticipates shipping 72 million units of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models by the end of the year, which is approximately 12 times the estimated quantity of the iPhone Duo. Despite its premium starting price of $1,999, securing an iPhone Duo upon launch may prove to be a challenging endeavor for consumers.
