Apple iPhone 18 Pro and Duo launch face supply and hardware

Overview

As of late October 2026, Apple’s launch of the iPhone 18 Pro series and the iPhone Duo foldable continues to face technical, supply chain, and hardware durability hurdles despite high demand.

The iPhone Duo, which saw a global release on October 23, has encountered massive demand and significant shipping delays, with some delivery estimates in the US, Canada, and Europe pushed to early 2027. Manufacturing constraints involving a complex 100-piece hinge, low assembly yields at Foxconn, and shortages of DRAM and NAND flash memory have hampered production. CEO John Ternus has described the global memory chip shortage as “absolutely a crisis.” To manage limited supply and combat scalping, Apple has implemented purchase limits in several markets.

While the device features a 7.6-inch internal display and a 5.4-inch external display, the launch has been marred by widespread reports of hardware issues. Users in Australia, the US, Canada, China, and Hong Kong have documented inner screen cracking and bright lines appearing near the central hinge, sometimes after fewer than 20 folding cycles. Technical analyses suggest these failures may stem from mechanical flaws in the hinge mechanism. To address crease visibility, Apple included a replaceable nano-texture cover layer, but repairing the inner display remains expensive, costing up to $999 or approximately 1,719 euros without AppleCare+.

Connectivity issues have emerged for some iPhone 18 Pro Max units sold through AT&T in the US, where devices may lose cellular functionality. Additionally, the iPhone Duo utilizes an eSIM-only design. Despite these hurdles, Apple’s stock reached a new all-time high in late October.
