Demand for Apple's first folding smartphone is expected to be high, with initial online orders for the Duo selling out in ‌minutes after the device was unveiled by Apple CEO John Ternus in September. Demand for the iPhone Duo is so high that Apple has pushed out delivery times for some ​customers who ordered the device online to January 2027. Now, the company is also warning customers that they may have a difficult time getting their hands on the iPhone Duo at Apple Stores when they officially go on sale in coming days. ## **Limited iPhone Duo Devices** "On Friday morning, our teams look forward to welcoming customers at Apple ‌Stores to experience iPhone Duo and the incredible ‌iPhone line-up for themselves," said Apple in ‌a statement. "Apple Stores will have limited iPhone Duo available for walk-in customers, and ‌we're ‌working hard to get this revolutionary new product into customers' hands as quickly as possible." Apple adds Apple announced its first folding phone in September, with analysts expecting it to ‌quickly come to dominate a niche ⁠segment where rivals such as ​Samsung Electronics and Huawei Technologies have sold premium offerings for years. But the iPhone Duo is also a more complex product than standard candy-bar iPhones, with a tight-fitting hinge that analysts believe may take time ‌for Apple to learn to manufacture in high volumes. On the China-governed island of Macau, the iPhone ‌Duo will be available for walk-in ⁠customers only, with limited inventory, Apple said. ### Related Stocks - [AAPL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) - [AAPB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPB.US.md) - [AAPD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPD.US.md) - [AAPE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPE.US.md) - [AAPU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPU.US.md) - [AAPW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPW.US.md) - [AAPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPX.US.md) - [AAPY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPY.US.md) - [APLY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/APLY.US.md) - [IOSX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IOSX.US.md) - [HUAWEI.NA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HUAWEI.NA.md) - [SMSN.UK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMSN.UK.md) ## Related News & Research - [The iPhone Duo has more than 100,000 optimized apps, Apple says](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304674444.md) - [“Not Able to Predict When Supply and Demand Will Be in Balance”: Apple CEO Ternus on iPhone Duo Shortages, Memory Costs and the New Siri](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304010955.md) - [Apple is ‘not able to predict’ when it’ll have enough iPhone Duos to go around](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304021259.md) - [Top Stories: Apple Product Launches, iOS 27.3 Beta, and More](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304735990.md) - [Apple shares slide as higher memory costs fuel margin concerns](https://longbridge.com/en/news/304104805.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
