Apple iPhone Duo Preorders Sell Out Within Minutes, Deliveries Pushed to January 2027
Read this in the Market Flux appApple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, sold out through Christmas almost immediately after preorders opened Friday, with delivery dates sliding from the October 23 launch date to as late as January 25, 2027, within minutes of orders going live. The $1,999 device, a passport-sized foldable featuring a 5.4-inch front display and a 7.6-inch inner folding screen, drew a preorder rush that stripped retail stores of launch-day inventory almost immediately and overwhelmed online supply.
Apple CEO John Ternus defended the premium price point, calling the Duo an "incredibly complex and well-engineered device" and describing it as a "great value." The extended shipping estimates, now stretching well past the holidays for new orders, reflect both intense consumer demand and tight early supply, a combination Bloomberg reported is set to make the iPhone Duo difficult to obtain on or near its release date or for the foreseeable future.
