GoKawiilApple's Joswiak confirms limited iPhone Duo stock for Friday walk-in buyers
Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak told TechRadar that not all iPhone Duo units were allocated to pre-orders, leaving some stock for in-store customers at launch. He described pre-order demand for Apple's first foldable iPhone as extraordinary, while Apple has confirmed only limited walk-in availability across a set list of countries including the US, UK, Canada and Germany.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Limited walk-in stock suggests Apple expects supply constraints to persist well past launch day, which could fuel long lines and reseller markups in eligible countries. Joswiak's framing of demand as 'extraordinary' is a company talking point meant to project confidence in a new product category, though actual sales figures have not been disclosed.
- iPhone Duo launches Friday with some stock reserved for in-store walk-in buyers.
- Walk-in availability is limited to specific countries including the US, UK, Canada and Germany.
- Apple executives, including Joswiak and reportedly CEO John Ternus, plan to attend the Fifth Avenue store launch.
