Recently, Apple's official Chinese website made an announcement stating that each customer will be restricted to purchasing a maximum of two iPhone Duo units. This highly anticipated device is slated for release on the 23rd of this month. A reporter from Jiupai News uncovered on social media platforms that a multitude of individuals have thronged to the membership supermarket Costco, eager to secure their spot in line for the iPhone Duo's debut. Some eager beavers have even begun queuing up a full two days prior to the launch.

Moreover, there have been reports of queue positions being traded. One netizen, in particular, has offered to sell their 32nd spot in line for the price of 168 yuan. The iPhone Duo marks Apple's foray into the foldable smartphone market, boasting four distinct storage capacities: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB. Additionally, customers can choose between two sleek color options: Starlight White and Night Sky. The pricing for these various storage capacities in China stands at 15,999 yuan, 17,999 yuan, 21,499 yuan, and 26,499 yuan, respectively.

On the evening of October 16th, at precisely 8:00 PM, the iPhone Duo commenced its pre-sale phase on Apple's official website, as well as other online retail channels. The surge in traffic was so immense that the pre-sale platform occasionally experienced delays. Owing to the robust demand, the iPhone Duo has become a hot commodity on second-hand platforms. Transaction prices for multiple versions on the pre-sale market have surpassed the 20,000 yuan mark. Notably, the 1TB black version has approached a staggering 29,000 yuan, which is a hefty 7,143 yuan premium over its official launch price.
