Disruptions experienced in the production process of the iPhone Duo model
Low yield rates at Foxconn facilities and supply chain disruptions negatively impact the mass production of the new foldable phone model.
It has been reported that Apple's new foldable screen model, iPhone Duo, is facing difficulties during the mass production phase due to low yield rates, complex structure, and supply issues.
Challenges Experienced on the Production Line
The fact that Foxconn's current production yield rate remains at the 60 percent level indicates that a significant portion of the devices coming off the line are not suitable for sale.
Behind this situation lie delays in hinge parts and OLED panel supplies, alongside the complex manufacturing structure.
The Impact of High Quality Standards
Apple's meticulous approach and attention to detail regarding quality standards prevent the mass production process from progressing at the targeted speed.
Sources close to the company state that production speed could increase if Apple were to loosen its quality requirements.
Projected Sales and Price Figures
While it is expected to take at least six months for current plans to mature, the first batch is anticipated to go on sale in limited numbers.
The device's starting price of $1999 is expected to be a decisive criterion in consumer demand.
