GoKawiilApple says it can't predict when iPhone Duo foldable restocks will arrive
Apple executives said the $1,999 iPhone Duo remains sold out after selling out within days of its late-October launch, with COO Sabih Khan telling analysts the company cannot predict when supply will meet demand. Some buyers have reported cracked screens along the fold, and Apple said it will replace affected units. The comments came as Apple reported record annual revenue of $479bn and iPhone sales of $57bn for the July-September quarter, a 17% rise that excluded Duo sales.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The inability to forecast restocking suggests Apple may be facing genuine production bottlenecks for its first foldable device rather than manufactured scarcity, which could frustrate early demand momentum. The screen-cracking reports, even if described as affecting a small number of units, pose a reputational risk for a flagship product priced at a premium. Strong underlying iPhone and Mac sales indicate Apple's core business remains healthy even as newer and secondary product lines like iPad and wearables soften.
- iPhone Duo foldable sold out quickly at $1,999 and remains unavailable with no restock timeline given.
- Some units reportedly developed cracks along the inner fold; Apple is offering replacements.
- Apple posted record annual revenue of $479bn, with iPhone sales up 17% and Mac sales up 27%, while iPad and wearables sales declined.
