Apple's Foldable iPhone Duo Preorders Exhausted Amid Supply Limits
According to 24/7 Wall St. , preorders for Apple’s first foldable iPhone Duo opened on 19 October sold out within minutes, and analysts said limited hinge yields and uncertain supplier stock were constraining supply. Apple disclosed out-of-pocket repair fees of up to $1,499 without AppleCare+, as reported by MacRumors. The company also announced the Duo on 16 October with a 7.
6-inch inner display and a price range of $1,999 to $3,199, omitting several camera and hardware features, per MacRumors. 9to5Mac said the inner display layer can be replaced for $49, a move that may ease cost concerns, and it listed recommended accessories such as an Apple Pencil, fast-charging adapters, a MagSafe car mount and HomeKit cameras. Tom's Guide noted that the iPhone 18 Pro Max received only modest upgrades, with consumer interest shifting toward the upcoming Duo.
