AustriaApple is reportedly facing significant production challenges with its first foldable smartphone, the rumored iPhone Ultra. According to Nikkei Asia, citing manufacturing sources, only a few hundred units are being produced daily, far below the eight to ten million units Apple aims to sell. The delays stem from Apple’s high quality standards and technical hurdles, including achieving a flat screen over the hinge and ensuring durability of the foldable display. These issues have caused additional testing phases, delaying mass production. Despite these setbacks, Apple is unlikely to cancel the launch, as CEO John Ternus seeks to mark his tenure with hardware innovation. However, availability may be limited initially, with potential delays of weeks or months before widespread distribution.
