IT News on November 3rd: According to a report by Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman (Mark Gurman), Apple's first foldable phone, iPhone, was actually "hurriedly launched."

Gurman stated that Apple initially planned to launch this product in November of this year in the US and Chinese markets first, but ultimately moved the release date up to October 23rd, with the corresponding models going on sale simultaneously in over 70 countries and regions around the world. This decision led to a severe shortage of inventory in the early stages of the product’s release, forcing many consumers to search for available stock elsewhere.

At the same time, Apple's hasty adjustment of the launch plans for iPhone and Duo may also have led to the hardware issues that have been exposed recently. Some of the first users have reported that the screens of iPhone and Duo experience cracking in the hinge folding area. Since replacement devices are also in short supply at present, users who encounter screen failures face considerable difficulties in applying for a replacement. Apple currently needs to deal with issues such as insufficient supply chain inventory and disputes over the quality of the screens of the first batch of products.

Mark Gurman indicates that if Apple adheres to its initial plan of launching the product in November, it might be able to gain more time for production and inventory preparation, thereby avoiding the current severe supply bottlenecks and reducing the problems that have arisen during the launch of this annual blockbuster product.
