The iPhone Duo goes on sale today. Here’s how you could still get one in a store, despite ‘extraordinary’ demand
Today is arguably one of the most important days for Apple in decades. It’s when the company’s first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo , goes on sale. But so far Apple’s biggest problem with the device doesn’t seem to be persuading people to buy it. Rather, the company doesn’t have the supply to meet all the demand. That means Apple fans who want an iPhone Duo on Day 1 may struggle to obtain one.…
On October 17, Apple unveiled its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, but supply issues have prevented customers from immediately purchasing the device upon its release. While preorders have been met with "extraordinary" demand, Apple's website continues to show January 22 as the earliest shipping date for all models. However, Apple has announced that Apple Stores in select countries will be offering limited quantities of the iPhone Duo for walk-in customers today.
These countries include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Macao, Italy (only select stores), Mexico, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Despite the limited availability, potential buyers should be aware that these stores may sell out quickly. Customers looking for alternative options should consider checking with their mobile carriers, as they may also offer the iPhone Duo for purchase with a contract.
Additionally, Apple advises customers to check its online store on October 24 for any in-store pickup options that may become available as production increases.
