The sudden backlog suggests a perfect storm of intense consumer interest in Apple’s first foldable handset and potential supply chain constraints. While the company typically allocates a portion of its initial inventory for walk-in customers, those relying on home delivery are currently staring at late January arrival dates.
Apple unveiled the device in September, showcasing a compact, passport-style form factor that mirrors the design language seen in recent Samsung foldables. Priced at $1,999 for the base 256GB model, the phone is available in “star white” and “night sky.” Prospective buyers can still process transactions through Apple’s website, though the window for launch-day delivery closed almost immediately after the store went live at 8 AM ET.
