iPhone Duo shipping estimates have already been pushed back to 2027
Apple called the early demand for its new device extraordinary following the launch of preorders.
While preorder buzz is not a definitive indicator of long-term success, the iPhone Duo has cleared an initial hurdle. Following the launch of preorders for Apple's first foldable phone, the manufacturer described the consumer response as extraordinary.
Shipping Delays
Current shipping estimates for US preorders have slipped as far back as January 2027. This poses challenges for buyers targeting holiday delivery windows, though the company stated it is working to fulfill orders as efficiently as possible.
Availability and Retail Options
Customer reports indicate varying fulfillment windows, ranging from store pickups in late October to delayed home delivery slots stretching into the winter months. Retailers like Best Buy have also reflected adjusted availability windows for November fulfillment.
