High iPhone Duo demand limits store availability for Apple’s foldable phone
Apple customers may face limited stock of the iPhone Duo in retail stores on October 23 due to high demand.
Preorder shipping dates delayed globally
Online preorder shipments for the device are now scheduled to begin in January instead of October. Reports indicate that shipping times have slipped into next year worldwide. This delay suggests strong initial interest from buyers placing orders online.
Retail staff warned about stock limits
Apple Store employees have been instructed to warn customers against expecting immediate availability on the designated release day. Staff speaking to MacRumors say shoppers without a preorder should not plan to pick up a unit in store. The company has advised that inventory will be restricted at physical locations.
Global scope of instructions unclear
It remains uncertain whether these supply constraints apply across all regions or just specific markets. Customers are told to adjust expectations regarding walk-in purchases on Friday, October 23. Availability issues could persist if demand continues to outpace current supply levels.
