Apple is ‘not able to predict’ when it’ll have enough iPhone Duos to go around
Apple CEO John Ternus doesn't have a timeline for when iPhone Duo supply constraints could lift. During an interview with Reuters, Ternus said the company is "working hard to get it to as many customers as quickly as possible, but at this point, we're not able to predict when supply and demand will be in […]
Apple's CEO, John Ternus, disclosed that the company is currently facing an unprecedented surge in memory pricing, which has left them unable to forecast when the supply of the newly launched iPhone Duo will meet demand. During a Reuters interview, Ternus emphasized that Apple is diligently working to distribute the device to customers as swiftly as possible, but a timeline for resolving the supply constraints remains unknown.
The iPhone Duo, priced at $1,999, is equipped with a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner screen. Its launch led to an immediate surge in preorders, resulting in sold-out shipments with delivery expected as late as 2027. Ternus also addressed concerns over cracked screens, stating that only a "very small percentage" of devices were returned for this issue, and that Apple is promptly replacing affected units.
The company has grappled with supply chain issues and escalating memory costs for several months, leading to price hikes across its product range, including the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models. Ternus revealed that Apple is expecting even higher memory costs during its upcoming December quarter, a situation partially offset by the recent price adjustments.
Despite the absence of a standard iPhone 18 model, Apple posted record-breaking iPhone revenue of $57.58 billion during its fourth quarter.
