Following the release of Apple's inaugural foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, the resale market experienced an initial surge in prices that ultimately fell short of scalpers' lofty expectations. The market's trajectory was marked by a high opening followed by a steep decline. Numerous scalpers, who had invested heavily by purchasing the devices at inflated prices on the launch day, found themselves grappling with excess inventory and substantial financial losses. Consequently, they are now vigorously marketing the iPhone Duo in an effort to recoup their investments.

The iPhone Duo is available in various storage configurations, each with its own official price point. Notably, the device uniformly employs eSIM technology across all models. At present, Apple's official sales channels continue to witness strong demand, with online orders already slated for delivery in late January of the following year. In-store pickup appointments are also highly sought after, reflecting the phone's popularity. To meet this surging demand, Apple has instructed its suppliers to ramp up production by increasing orders by 30%.

However, users have reported certain challenges with the iPhone Duo. App compatibility issues have surfaced, causing inconvenience for some users. Additionally, the fingerprint recognition feature has proven to be a source of discomfort for individuals accustomed to the seamless experience of Face ID.
