The iPhone Duo was rumored to come out some time after the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max even before their joint announcement at the beginning of September. The reason was always reported to be a mix of production challenges, which should’ve been resolved by now. However, a new report suggests that’s not the case and the first foldable iPhone is still facing difficulties, mere weeks ahead of launch. iPhone Duo production problems continue even now Apple hasn’t solved the production issues...

"It appears that a big part of the difficulties are stemming from the quality requirements Apple has for the production of the iPhone Duo. One source said that suppliers are waiting for Apple to decide whether it will relax some of the quality requirements, which could accelerate production."


The difference between Apple and its competitors is that Apple refuses to compromise on component quality. By insisting on cutting-edge parts—such as the latest display technology from Samsung—rather than relying on older, proven tech, Apple ensures a superior final product. While this approach creates production challenges, it demonstrates a commitment to quality over rushing to market, which is ultimately a positive trait for consumers.

Half baked software with launch of the new Pro Iphones, and now still experimenting with the Duo, even after they have announced the product... they have had 8 years to copy and learn and are dealing with last minute BIG issues ... Hey but Apple....

So many articles by the fruit company mouthpieces , to spread the propaganda that the fold will be very limited on release, just to drive the stupid sheeps to pre-order and commit to buying un reviewed 1st generation piece of engineering s**t ( dont take my word or the propaganda engine, go look at videos by Luis Rossman who was working as a mac repair man for a living )

As always with every is**t new product , there must be a shortage propaganda to play the psyc game on the sheeps as " The issues don’t stem from a specific problem with a certain technology " and its definitely not a quality problem ( iphone 6 is best example of how easily it could bent but the imaginary quality department didn't notice)

I just wish to go back 20 years when you can read about mobiles and technology from real journalists not this 20 s**ty article per day about one s**ty company and leaving real technology and good customer choices to the dust , and here im talking about chinese phones , thats according to the propaganda mouthpieces should not be trusted , and our trust should go to the country number one in manufacturing wars by fake reasons , that support dictators as long they serve them , that spy on it own people by thier on laws and acts , and thier allies head of states , and the list will go forever for anyone who has a working mind and can read history or real news about this country endless atrocities and its poppets companies.

This is not an issue, but rather a matter of quality control, which Samsung lacks. I can provide examples if necessary, such as defective screens, the Note 7 battery fires, and recurring issues across the S-series; the list is extensive.

This is how ignorant you are. The article talks about (it’s all about Apple’s quality requirements for the iPhone Duo) and you talk about software? Lol, did you even read it? Are you that ignorant? 'Half-baked' is your S26U screen defect. Oh, 'it's a feature.' We call that a privacy display—can't see sh!t, and the words look blurry.

I see through the marketing narrative. It makes no sense for Apple to be raising "quality control" concerns now that the product has already been announced and is supposedly ready for launch. It’s impossible to defend such blatant mismanagement; if these devices were truly production-ready, they wouldn't be scrambling to address fundamental assembly issues at the eleventh hour. Hey, I just imagine if this was happening to Samsung what would have been said .... Fun times we are living in
