John Ternus says Apple is seeing ‘unprecedented’ memory pricing.
Key facts
- Apple launched its first foldable last month for $1,999, featuring a 5.4 outer display and 7.6-inch inner screen
- Even without a standard iPhone 18 model, Apple reported record-breaking iPhone revenue at $57.58 billion during its fourth quarter
- This resulted in price increases across its product lineup, along with higher iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max starting prices
- Preorders for the iPhone Duo quickly sold out, with some shipments expected to arrive in 2027
Summary
Apple CEO John Ternus doesn’t have a timeline for when iPhone Duo supply constraints could lift. Apple launched its first foldable last month for $1,999, featuring a 5.4 outer display and 7.6-inch inner screen. In his interview with Reuters, Ternus also addressed reports about cracked screens, saying “a small percentage” of iPhone Duos were returned for this issue, and that Apple is replacing them. The iPhone Duo is a messy, expensive good time. The company has contended with supply chain constraints and rising memory costs for months now.
