Apple’s Foldable iPhone Duo Sells Out Within Minutes in Preorders
Preorders for Apple’s first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, opened on October 16 at 16:00. The device sold out within minutes. Customers who completed their orders in time will receive the phone on October 23. Other customers could not find an in-store pickup option, while deliveries of online orders were delayed by months.
Initially, the delivery window slipped to early December. At 16:30, the estimated delivery date for all color and storage options was listed as January 25. For some customers, the date was January 29. As a result, some orders have been pushed back to 2027. In addition to high demand, low production volume is also contributing to the delay. According to reports, Apple produces only a few hundred devices per day. The starting price is $1,999 (about 3,400 manat). The model with 512 GB of storage sells for $2,199 (about 3,740 manat). The 1 TB version costs $2,599 (about 4,420 manat). The 2 TB model costs $3,199 (about 5,440 manat). The last version is the most expensive iPhone model ever released. Customers who buy the phone from a physical Apple Store are also expected to be able to add their names to the startup screen.
The iPhone Duo has a body that opens like a passport and a nano-textured inner display. The selfie camera is hidden under the display, and the phone is powered by the A20 Pro processor. A flexible graphite tube in the hinge helps dissipate heat more effectively. The device does not have Face ID facial recognition. Instead, it uses Touch ID, with a fingerprint reader built into the side button. The model is sold in starlight white and a dark blue color called night sky.
Carrier promotions offer savings of up to $1,200 (about 2,040 manat) when customers trade in an old device. This reduces the final price of the base model to $799 (about 1,360 manat). T-Mobile and Xfinity Mobile offer discounts of up to $1,000 (about 1,700 manat). Apple offers trade-in credit ranging from $175 (about 300 manat) to $886 (about 1,510 manat) for an old iPhone. Monthly payments for a 24-month lease start at $57.99 (about 99 manat). To take advantage of carrier promotions, customers must trade in an eligible device and choose an expensive service plan. Those who briefly tested the iPhone Duo liked its inner display and the way the hinge opens smoothly. According to them, the crease in the display is almost invisible during use. They also noted that the multitasking mode works simply. However, the slippery polished edges, the placement of the volume buttons and the lack of Face ID were criticized. The camera quality appeared poor in initial shots. However, the area where the camera module is located leaves more room for MagSafe accessories.
