Apple Launches Folding iPhone Duo with Limited Store Availability Amid High Demand
Apple's folding iPhone Duo launched Friday with limited in-store availability after online pre-orders sold out quickly, pushing delivery dates to January in some regions. The device, Apple's first foldable phone, features a complex hinge design that may affect production volumes. Availability varies globally, with walk-in purchases limited to select countries, while others offer only online order pickups. Early demand has been strong, with mixed reviews praising design but noting some usability and camera concerns. In India, first-week stock sold out ahead of the October 23 launch.
