Apple Stores worldwide are preparing to welcome customers to experience the iPhone Duo and the full iPhone lineup. Many customers encountered shipping delays into November when trying to secure a pre-order on the product's launch date, Oct 23. The delays are consistent across all colors and storage configurations, ranging from 256 gigabytes to 2 terabytes.
This marks one of the first major product introductions under new CEO John Ternus, who assumed leadership in September. Bloomberg Intelligence analysts predict iPhone Duo sales could surpass 14 million units and generate US$28 billion in sales for the fiscal 2027 year. They suggest that persuading current Pro and Pro Max owners to switch to the foldable could boost the iPhone's average selling price by 82% and 67%, respectively.
The iPhone Duo launch has been significantly more challenging compared to the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max debut in September, which proceeded smoothly for customers with timely orders.
