Apple Faces Supply Constraints and Rising Memory Costs for New iPhone Duo
Apple is struggling to balance supply and demand for its newly launched foldable device, the iPhone Duo. During a Reuters interview, Apple executive John Ternus stated that the company cannot currently predict when supply will meet consumer demand following rapid sell-outs of preorders. Some shipments are now expected to be delayed until 2027. Beyond hardware availability, Apple is grappling with unprecedented memory pricing volatility. This surge in component costs has contributed to price increases across its product lineup, including higher starting prices for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models. Despite these supply chain headwinds and rising costs, Apple reported record-breaking fourth-quarter iPhone revenue of $57.58 billion.
