iPhone Duo Launch Begins as First Orders Reach Customers

It is the start of the work week in Australia and New Zealand, and pre-orders for the iPhone Duo have begun to be fulfilled. Readers have started sharing their initial impressions and photos of the device on online forums and social media platforms. The iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable phone, starts at $1,999 and features a 5.4-inch outer screen and a 7.6-inch inner screen.

Apple intends to sell out its stock quickly due to high demand, and there are no Apple Stores in New Zealand, so local availability will be determined by in-store sales in Australia. The company's website suggests checking back on Saturday, October 24 for pickup reservations. Shipping estimates for online orders extended to January 25 after pre-orders commenced.

Customers in certain countries, such as France, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates, must reserve their devices for pickup at an Apple Store. Some carriers and big-box retailers might also have iPhone Duos available on launch day. After Australia and New Zealand, deliveries will commence in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and eventually North America. Some Apple Stores across the globe will open early at 8:00 a.m. local time.
