Apple Limits iPhone Duo Orders Amid High Demand and Supply Constraints
Apple has limited pre-orders of its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, to two units per customer globally amid high demand and supply constraints ahead of its October 23 launch. Initial stocks sold out quickly in markets including India, where delivery estimates have extended into early 2027. Retailers in India report severe shortages, leading to premium pricing in the grey market. Apple has not publicly explained the purchase limits, which aim to manage supply and curb bulk buying. The iPhone Duo starts at Rs 2,99,900 in India and has attracted strong interest despite its premium price.
