iPhone Duo already backordered until 2027 as pre-order sales soar

Apple is experiencing extraordinary pre-order demand for the iPhone Duo, despite its $1,999 price tag. Shipping dates have already slipped into next year, with some customers facing backorders until 2027. This surge in consumer interest has overwhelmed Apple's suppliers, who are reportedly struggling to produce the first foldable phone at scale. Consequently, many buyers must wait months to receive their devices as the company manages the high volume of initial sales for the premium hardware.
