GoKawiilApple's iPhone Duo preorders push delivery dates to late January 2026
Within an hour of preorders opening at 8AM ET on Friday, Apple's website showed delivery estimates for the iPhone Duo slipping into late January across all configurations. The foldable iPhone, Apple's first, starts at $1,999 for 256GB and launches in stores on October 23rd, with colors including star white and night sky.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The rapid slide in delivery dates suggests either strong early demand or constrained supply of Apple's debut foldable, though the exact cause hasn't been confirmed by Apple. Shoppers who want the device sooner may need to try in-store purchases on launch day, since retail stock is typically separate from online allocations.
- iPhone Duo online preorders already show late January 2026 delivery
- In-store availability on October 23rd could offer a faster path to purchase
- Starting price is $1,999 for the 256GB model in two colors
