- The reported shortage is attributed to Apple’s demanding quality standards.
Apple’s rumored first foldable iPhone may be unveiled within days, but obtaining one could prove difficult from the outset. A current report says the company is producing only a few hundred devices, far below the tens of thousands reportedly expected.
The alleged production problems are linked to Apple’s high quality standards. The report presents the limited output as a major obstacle for the company’s first entry into foldable smartphones.
Apple currently offers iPhones only in non-folding variants. Rumors suggest the company could soon introduce a foldable model, possibly called the iPhone Ultra, although the name has not been confirmed.
For now, the production figures remain part of the report surrounding the rumored launch. Even if Apple presents the device within days, the limited supply could make the phone difficult to obtain.
