iPhone Duo UAE orders face 2027 delivery dates as demand surges

UAE customers ordering Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, may face delivery delays until January 2027, according to a recent report. Despite the device's scheduled launch on October 23, the checkout page on Apple's UAE online store displayed an estimated delivery date of January 22, 2027. The delivery date may vary depending on the model, storage capacity, and availability.

Apple opened pre-orders in the UAE on October 16, but the delays have also been reported in the United States, with delivery estimates moving into January 2027 shortly after pre-orders opened. The cost of the iPhone Duo starts at Dh8,499 for the 256GB version, with higher prices for larger storage capacities. Apple has not disclosed the number of iPhone Duo units allocated to the UAE or other markets, making it difficult to determine the extent of the delays.
