Apple Launches iPhone Duo Foldable Phone Amid High Demand and Limited Supply

Analysed 23 Oct 2026·8 sources analysed·Sydney, Australia·Technology
Apple Launches iPhone Duo Foldable Phone Amid High Demand and Limited SupplyPreviousNext

Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, launched with strong demand and limited supply, leading to sold-out pre-orders and long lines at stores worldwide. Availability varies by region, with some countries offering limited walk-in purchases and others restricting sales to online pre-orders. Analysts note the device's complex design may slow production, but early interest is high, especially among loyal Apple users. The iPhone Duo's premium pricing positions it competitively in the foldable market alongside rivals like Samsung and Huawei.
