  "account": "Apple initiated preorders for the iPhone Duo on Friday, with the device's shipment dates now set to extend into 2027. This delay is attributed to high demand and limited initial supply. Orders placed online for Christmas gifts may not arrive in time for the holiday season. The iPhone Duo, across all carriers, colors, and storage sizes, will start shipping to early preorders on October 23. Those who missed the initial preorders can look forward to a \"Hunger Games\" style hunt for in-store inventory on launch day. The entry-level model, equipped with 256 GB, is priced at $1,999, while the 2 TB variant is available for $3,199. Apple's supply chain issues, as previously reported by Bloomberg, have caused these shipment delays, especially for new product launches. During the company's Q3 earnings call in July, CEO Tim Cook mentioned that Apple anticipates high demand for all its products, but the current supply chain constraints are expected to cause more significant impacts.",
