03 Nov 2026, 7:25 AM	TechCrunch	4.5	Apple says it’s ‘hard to predict’ when iPhone Duo constraints will improve On Apple's fiscal Q4 earnings call (Nov 2, 2026), COO Sabih Khan said the new foldable iPhone Duo is 'constrained as of today' and that it is 'really hard to predict when supply and demand will be in balance,' with non-preorder ship times now stretching into next year and Verizon offering customers gift cards over the delays. The call was dominated by questions about rising memory chip costs driven by AI-industry demand, and Khan said Apple has raised prices on a number of products 'reluctantly.' Apple also said it is 'deepening' its partnership with titanium supplier Perryman for the foldable device. Why: The concrete signal here isn't the phone — it's that AI-driven memory demand is now showing up as higher component costs and price increases at the largest hardware buyer on earth. If you're budgeting device fleets, edge/hardware prototypes, or anything with RAM/storage in the BOM for 2027, plan for higher unit costs and longer lead times rather than assuming last year's quotes hold.
