Apple's iPhone Duo launches today with in-store stock reserved for walk-in customers

global.techradar.com (French) — October 23, 2026 at 04:01 PM UTC

Apple's iPhone Duo launches today, Friday, October 23, with Apple confirming it reserved in-store stock for customers who didn't pre-order, despite online delivery delays extending to January 2027. Greg Joswiak, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said devices are available in stores and he will attend the Fifth Avenue launch in New York. Pre-orders opened October 16 and sold out quickly, but Apple kept units for walk-in customers. The foldable phone's launch coincides with the MLB World Series starting today, with optimized apps like MLB, Netflix, and Edits showcasing its dual-screen capabilities. Apple hasn't specified exact stock volumes for France, advising customers to check local store availability.
