Apple is preparing limited in-store availability of its new foldable iPhone Duo for walk-in customers on Friday, after online demand sold out quickly and some deliveries were pushed into January. Apple says it will welcome customers to experience iPhone Duo in Apple Stores, but that only a limited number will be available without a prior preorder.
Across outlets, the common emphasis is that units for walk-ins are expected to be scarce and may not last long, particularly given the high starting price. Some coverage notes that many configurations are already showing preorder dates far beyond the holiday period, suggesting limited production or tight supply.
Several reports also point to geographic differences in how walk-in purchases will work. Apple indicates that availability will vary by country, with some regions offering both online pickup and limited walk-ins, while others limit walk-in sales to customers who already bought online.
