Apple announced the iPhone Duo in September as its first foldable device. The phone features a passport-style design and starts at $1,999.
Delivery estimates for the iPhone Duo slipped into next year in less than an hour after Apple opened preorders for it at 8AM ET on Friday.
At the time of writing we are seeing late January delivery dates for every configuration on Apple’s website. The foldable is slated to launch in stores on October 23rd, and Apple typically reserves some units for in-store availability. So while online orders are delayed, you might be able to get one sooner in-person at an Apple Store.
The long delay could be due to high demand for Apple’s first foldable iPhone, low supply on Apple’s side, or a mix of both. Apple announced the iPhone Duo in September, featuring the shorter passport-style design Samsung introduced earlier this year. The Duo starts at $1,999 for the 256GB model and comes in “star white” and “night sky.” You can still preorder it on Apple’s website, but you might be in for a long wait before you get to unfold it.
