Apple bets on iPhone Duo with order boost as sales commence

Apple has reportedly told assembler Foxconn and its component makers to raise the 12-month shipment target for the iPhone Duo by 44%. This would take the production figures from 9.7 million to 14 million units, just one day before the $1,999 foldable reaches stores. Apple has, however, not confirmed the figures. Preorders emptied in minutes Apple opened preorders for the Duo on October 16, but it sold out in record time. Within minutes, delivery estimates had gone past the October 23 launch date to as far back as late January, according to CBS News reports. Max Weinbach of the research firm Creativestrat wrote on X that the device sold out at every store near New York and Connecticut inside three minutes.
