Apple's foldable iPhone Duo sells out fast, with 92-day shipping delays in the U.S

Apple began selling the iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone, globally on Friday, with demand exceeding supply. U.S. online orders faced an average 92-day shipping delay this week, and walk-in stock is limited in many countries. Customers filled stores for hands-on demos, and the phone starts at $1,999. The wait exceeds delays for recent iPhone 18 Pro, 17, and 16 lines, though U.S. carriers with stock quoted quicker turnarounds. Apple said only small stockpiles exist in the U.S., Australia, Canada, Mexico, and much of Britain and Europe. In China, France, Hong Kong, India, and Japan, units are reserved exclusively for online orders. Counterpoint Research expects supply of roughly 6 million units or less short-term, while reviews have been mixed, praising the interior display and battery but faulting the exterior screen and camera.
