That\u2019s because it covered a period running July-September, and the Duo didn\u2019t go on sale until October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Wall Street is understandably still very curious about how sales for the foldable are going. Especially as relates to revenue forecasts for the current quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/retail-consumer\/apple-results-beat-wall-street-expectations-on-strong-iphone-sales-2026-11-02\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interview with Reuters<\/a>, Ternus addressed two aspects of the iPhone Duo: supply constraints and units that have had display issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding supply, it sounds like Apple doesn\u2019t know when it might reach supply-demand balance:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuo is constrained as of today,\u201d Ternus said. \u201cThe ramp is going well, and we\u2019re working hard to get it to as many customers as quickly as possible, but at this point, we\u2019re not \u200cable to \u2060predict when supply and demand will be in balance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, shipping estimates from the Apple Store are still set for late January. That\u2019s where they\u2019ve stayed since the first pre-orders immediately sold out on October 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the matter of iPhone Duo screens cracking, Ternus was brief and essentially repeated what Apple had <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/10\/26\/apple-responds-to-reports-of-iphone-duos-inner-display-cracking\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">previously confirmed<\/a>: that the issue is real, but limited to a very small number of units.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ternus told Reuters that \u201ca very small percentage\u201d of iPhone Duo units had been returned with display issues.
