- Some delivery estimates stretched into December and January.
Apple’s first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, sold out its initial stock within minutes of preorders opening. The $1,999 starting price makes it the company’s most expensive iPhone to date.
Delivery estimates moved back across both color options and storage sizes, which range from 256 GB to 2 TB. Some orders initially showed delivery dates of Nov. 16 to 23, while estimates for certain models and markets later extended into December and January.
The first deliveries are planned for Oct. 23. The report cited the phone’s complex design, hinge system and a global chip shortage as possible limits on supply. Counterpoint Research said last month it expected about 6 million iPhone Duo sales this year.
