The upcoming foldable iPhone, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone 18 Pro is rumored to be short in supply for 2026, with pre-orders to face initial sellout and delayed deliveries.
Apple is rumored to be struggling to secure enough DRAM to complete the production for the upcoming iPhone devices, with TSMC having a supply of $1 billion worth of processors that are unpackaged as they wait for memory chips.
The iPhone will be powered by the A20 Pro chip manufactured using the 2nm process by TSMC while using a Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module packaging for DRAM and processor integration.
During the preorder period, the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air sold out, with shipping delayed until October. Apple will not be releasing a budget-friendly iPhone 18, and the base iPhone 18 will not be released until early next year.
