Apple unsure when more foldable iPhones will be available after selling out

The new head of Apple says the company is working to get its new foldable iPhones available to more people after the $1,999 smartphone quickly sold out when it was released just over a week ago.

John Ternus, who in September took over the role as Apple's chief executive from Tim Cook, said on Monday that he was "thrilled" at the early reaction to the iPhone Duo.

While the costly phone, which sells for £1,999 in the UK, immediately sold out, some buyers have seen their screens crack.

The phones are still in high demand and Sabhi Kahn, Apple's new chief operating officer, said the technology giant did not know when more Duos would be available.

"At this time, it's really hard to predict when supply and demand will be in balance," Kahn said during a call with financial analysts to discuss Apple's latest financial results.

Apple executives did not mention during the call any issues with the iPhone Duo. But last week, the company said it would replace any phones that were impacted by an issue that caused a "small number" of the new phones to crack along the inside fold.

Nevertheless, Apple said on Monday that over the last year it sold more iPhones globally than it ever has before.

During the three months to 26 September, which did not include sales of the iPhone Duo that went on sale toward the end of October, Apple saw iPhone sales rise 17% to $57bn.

Apple has boasted throughout the year that iPhone sales have been surging, despite the company's warnings that crucial components for the device, along with Mac computers and iPads, were constrained to the point of weighing down sales.
