Apple’s first foldable iPhone launches worldwide amid strong demand, limited availability and mixed reviews, testing its potential to reshape the foldable phone market.
Apple launched its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, in stores worldwide on Friday at a price of around US$2,000, or A$3,899 for the 512GB model.
Estimated delivery dates slipped to late January within minutes of pre-orders opening, and Apple capped purchases at two per customer to manage demand.
The Duo is an early test for new Apple CEO John Ternus and a challenge to Samsung and Huawei, which have sold premium foldables for years.
Apple capped pre-orders at two handsets per customer and estimated delivery dates slipped to late January within minutes of pre-orders opening, so walk-in stock is very limited.
