TheGoogle Pixel Foldis set to be one of thebest folding phonesof 2023, and when it was announced at this year’sGoogleI/O foldable fans were promised June delivery dates. However, that promise appears to have slipped a little bit. The Fold is still coming, but it looks like it’ll take slightly longer to arrive.

According to9to5google, they were originally told that the expected shipping date was June 26/27. That was then updated to June 28 and July 7, but some have now been told that they shouldn’t expect their orders until the periods July 3 to July 7, or July 5 to July 10.

People who didn’t rush to pre-order will have to wait longer too. According to the report, people who ordered slightly later are now being told to expect deliveries of July 19 to July 27 for the Obsidian model, August 2 to August 10 for the Porcelain and August 16 to August 24 for the 512GB black model.

Why are the Pixel Fold shipping dates slipping?

This isn’t unusual for a new phone launch. For example, the more desirable iPhones tend to be hard to find in the first few weeks after they go on sale, which is why myiPhone 14isn’t the purple one I really wanted - my new-phone desire was too strong for me to wait.

It does look like Google has been slightly optimistic about its launch plans though, or that it’s hit an unexpected snag in getting enough phones in the right place at the right time.

But, as Google isn’t launching this phone in every market in the world, it still comes as somewhat a surprise to us. The Pixel Fold is only currently launching in the US, the UK, Germany and Japan. That’s a pretty limited launch, and that’s usually to ensure that there’s enough inventory available to prevent delays such as this from happening.
