Apple says it’s ‘hard to predict’ when iPhone Duo constraints will improve

What the coverage says

Apple posted a record-breaking September quarter with $57.58 billion in total iPhone revenue, as reported by Variety, while The Verge noted this milestone occurred even without a new standard iPhone release in the latest refresh. Alongside hardware sales, Variety highlighted a new all-time high of $31.6 billion in services revenue, representing a 10 percent increase for the period ending September 26, 2026. Despite these financial highs, TechCrunch and The Verge stated that supply constraints are stretching shipping delays into next year. According to The Verge, CEO John Ternus said the company is "not able to predict" when inventory will catch up with demand.
