Apple’s first foldable iPhone model, described as the iPhone Duo, goes on sale around the world, with reports focusing on a very high launch price and scarce availability. Outlets also note a quieter rollout compared with past iPhone launches, including less fanfare and reportedly fewer overnight efforts by shoppers.
Coverage varies mainly on the exact price presented and the on-the-ground details highlighted. Investing.com and Channel NewsAsia report a $2,000 (US$2,000) price tag, while BNN Bloomberg and Free Malaysia Today describe the device as priced around $3,000. Several outlets also describe early store events and customer interest: Channel NewsAsia references queues in Sydney and New York and CEO John Ternus greeting buyers in Austin, while Free Malaysia Today points to strong demand across multiple cities alongside limited sales.
Overall, sources agree on the essentials—launch timing, premium pricing framing, and limited supply—but differ in how much emphasis to place on crowd scenes versus demand signals and on the specific figure cited for the price.
