The iPhone Duo is now available for pre-order, and eager buyers who rushed to secure their units quickly discovered that offline stores were generally sold out on the launch day. Those who managed to place orders were informed that the earliest delivery times would not be until late November or early December. Meanwhile, the premium demanded by scalpers for Apple’s first foldable smartphone—which initially soared to several thousand yuan and even surpassed 7,000 yuan during the pre-sale phase—has gradually decreased to around 2,500 yuan. Industry insiders predict that the premium on the launch day may peak at 3,000 to 4,000 yuan before gradually declining. This time around, supply appears to be sufficient (ample), with online and offline channels receiving similar initial allocations. Scalpers and dealers, who saw limited profit margins on the iPhone 18 Pro series, are now placing their bets on this foldable device. Apple, too, is ramping up marketing efforts for the new product, with executives making frequent visits to China. Reports indicate that the global stock target for this model stands at 6 to 8 million units—significantly lower than the shipment volumes typically seen for the regular Pro series.
