Imagine baking fresh cookies, but the line outside your kitchen wraps all the way around the block!

Apple has a tricky puzzle on its hands: crowds of people want the new iPhone Duo, but the factories simply cannot build them fast enough!

Apple executive John Ternus shared that the company is racing to get phones into customer hands, but nobody can predict when store shelves will stay full. When a gadget uses brand-new parts, gathering all the microscopic chips, folding screens, and tiny camera sensors takes extra time.
