Apple's foldable iPhone Duo sells out within a week

Summarised from BBC Technology's report · Updated 3 Nov, 09:17 · Archive

Apple's $1,999 foldable iPhone Duo sold out within a week of release, with the company uncertain when more will be available.

Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo sold out rapidly after its release in late October. The $1,999 smartphone proved popular despite its high price, but Apple's chief operating officer Sabhi Kahn said the company could not predict when more units would become available. "At this time, it's really hard to predict when supply and demand will be in balance," Kahn told financial analysts.

Some early buyers reported issues with cracked screens along the inside fold. Apple said it would replace any phones affected by the problem, which it described as impacting a "small number" of devices. The company did not elaborate on the scale of the issue during its financial results call. Apple's latest financial results, covering the three months to 26 September, showed iPhone sales rose 17 per cent to $57bn globally, a record for the company.
