The worldwide waiting period for the delivery of Apple's inaugural foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, is nearing three months, averaging approximately 82 days, though this varies by distribution channel. On its release day, the global stock available for immediate delivery was nearly exhausted. During the pre-sale phase in the South Korean market, the online stock was swiftly depleted, and current orders still entail a wait time of roughly three months. To curb the activities of resellers, Apple has set purchase limits in numerous markets. Some regions have also restricted in-store purchases to those with prior reservations, ensuring the initial batch of devices reaches a broader consumer base. Owing to the disparity between supply and demand, the second-hand market has witnessed the emergence of premium transactions for this model.
