Apple's first foldable phone, known as the iPhone Duo, experienced massive demand during its pre-sale period. The initial stock quickly sold out within minutes due to overwhelming interest from consumers. Production issues have emerged, resulting in significant delays in fulfilling orders. Consequently, the earliest delivery dates for pre-ordered units are now projected for the year 2027. This indicates serious bottlenecks in Apple's manufacturing process for this new device. Reports suggest the company underestimated the consumer appetite for its foldable technology. The situation highlights the challenges in scaling production for innovative devices like the iPhone Duo, manufactured in China. Despite the delay, anticipation remains high for the eventual release of Apple’s foray into the foldable smartphone market in China.
