Apple's iPhone Duo Foldable Sells Out Quickly in India, Delivery Delayed to 2027
Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, launched in India starting at Rs. 2,99,900, sold out within an hour of pre-orders opening on October 16, with new orders delayed until January 2027. While foldables currently represent about 2% of global smartphone shipments, experts expect their market share to grow. Foldables suit users who multitask or consume media on larger screens but may not be ideal for basic phone use due to higher costs, durability concerns, and maintenance needs. EMI affordability and resale value are also important considerations for buyers.
