Apple faces iPhone Duo shortages as foldable reaches preorder buyers
Apple's first foldable sold out within minutes of preorders, pushing delivery to January, according to Seoul Economic Daily. Reports say retail availability will also be limited, with PCMag reporting likely no launch-day stock for walk-in buyers. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, cited by MacRumors, attributes the supply constraints to manufacturing challenges.
- Apple's EU energy label lists a 4,883mAh battery.
- The display was custom-built for the phone, executives said, according to iPhone in Canada.
