Apple iPhone Duo preorders sell out in the US
Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, sold out in minutes after opening preorders in the US on Friday, October 16. Customers who missed the initial rush may have to wait until late January 2027 to receive their device, as delivery estimates have shifted from the original launch date of October 23. The iPhone Duo costs $1,999 for the 256GB model, with prices increasing for higher storage options up to $3,199 for the 2TB model.
Available in Star White and Night Sky colours, the phone features Apple's largest ever display in a foldable design, a precision-engineered hinge, and A20 Pro for pro performance and impressive all-day battery life. The iPhone Duo is also equipped with iOS 27, Siri AI powered by Apple Intelligence, and powerful AI capabilities with a user's personal context.
While online delivery dates have moved to January 2027, limited stock may still be available at some Apple retail stores around the October 23 launch.
