Apple's Chief Operating Officer, Sabih Khan, reported during the fiscal fourth-quarter earnings call that while production of the iPhone Duo is increasing, the company cannot predict when supply will meet demand. Shipping delays are extending into next year, affecting customers who did not preorder or wait in line at stores.
The demand for the iPhone Duo has been described as extraordinary, with the device selling out quickly upon release. Apple is also addressing supply chain challenges by strengthening partnerships with suppliers, particularly for materials needed for the new foldable device.
Watch for updates on Apple's supply chain strategies as they deepen partnerships with suppliers like Perryman. Customers should consider preordering or visiting stores early to secure the iPhone Duo, as shipping delays may persist into next year.
