Today, October 23, 2026, is a special day for those waiting for the iPhone Duo, Apple’s first foldable smartphone. The phone has already started shipping, but if you’re thinking you’re going to buy it today at an Apple Store or website and have the phone in your hands right away, just wait. Buying this phone couldn’t be easier.
In fact, the pre-booking of the iPhone Duo started on October 16 itself. There is a lot of excitement among customers regarding the phone and its delivery may be delayed due to high demand. That is, if you have not booked the phone in advance, you may have to wait for your turn.
The company has placed this condition
But Apple has placed another condition in this. Apple has allowed customers to buy a maximum of two iPhones for online shopping. If you go to Apple’s website and try to order more than two phones, a message will appear on the screen. It will clearly state that the customer can purchase a maximum of two units. And yes, this rule is not only for Indian customers. Apple has also set similar purchase limits in the US, China, Singapore and Hong Kong. In such a situation, if you have decided to buy iPhone Duo, please check the availability and delivery date of the phone before placing the order.
Only 6,000 iPhone Duos will arrive in the first week of delivery
According to a Mint report, around 6,000 units of the iPhone Duo are expected to arrive in India in the first week of delivery. If demand is high and stock is low then all customers may face difficulty in getting the phone. However, Apple has not given any official information about the number of units available in India. Apart from buying this phone online, customers can also buy it from Apple’s official retail store. But it would be better to check the availability of the phone before going to the store.

Apple Store Time
To facilitate customers on the first day of delivery of the iPhone Duo, all six Apple Stores in India have opened at 8 am on October 23.

Most of the stores will be open till 10 pm, while the Apple Store in Pune will close at 9:30 pm. Keep in mind that just because a store is open doesn’t mean the phone is in stock there.
Which customers will get the phone today?
According to reports, the facility to pick up the phone on the first day of delivery is mainly for customers who had already pre-ordered it. If you have not pre-booked, there is no guarantee that you will receive the iPhone Duo upon arrival at the store. So, before leaving home, check your delivery information and phone availability at the nearest Apple Store.
