Apple iPhone Duo Foldable Sells Out Quickly Amid Limited Supply and High Demand
Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, launched in India starting at Rs. 2,99,900, sold out within minutes of pre-orders opening on October 16. High demand and limited supply have pushed delivery estimates to January 2027, though some orders have received earlier dates. Production challenges at suppliers like Foxconn have constrained availability, with only about 6,000 units expected in India during the first week. The device targets users who value multitasking and larger screens, but its premium price and durability considerations may limit appeal.
