Apple's new foldable iPhone, the Duo, has experienced overwhelming pre-order demand, pushing delivery times significantly beyond the initial promise. Within hours of orders opening, delivery estimates for new orders slipped to late January. Apple stated the demand was extraordinary and they are working to deliver the revolutionary product quickly. However, the actual initial supply remains unknown, though indications suggest it is very low, especially for a device priced at $2000. Apple Store employees have been informed that walk-in stock on launch day will likely be nonexistent. Customers without pre-orders are being discouraged from visiting stores expecting to purchase the device. Concerns about constrained production surfaced in early September, with reports of low daily output and subsequent manufacturing issues. This suggests Apple may discourage customers from camping outside stores on launch day. Despite the severe initial backorders, the extended January delivery window indicates Apple anticipates significantly increasing production over the coming months. It is probable that many pre-orders will be delivered sooner than the estimated January date, as Apple has a history of under-promising and over-delivering on backordered items.
