Apple iPhone Duo Sold Out in India; Price Starts at Rs 2.99 Lakh
Apple's highly anticipated first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, has witnessed an overwhelming response in India, with its initial pre-order inventory selling out within an hour of opening. Priced steeply starting at Rs 2,99,900 for the base 256GB model, the luxury device has pushed expected delivery windows for fresh bookings out to late January 2027. This rapid sellout mirrors heavy global demand seen in markets like the United States. Featuring a book-style folding layout, a 5.4-inch outer display, and a massive 7.6-inch inner Super Retina XDR screen powered by the A20 Pro chip, the handset targets ultra-premium tech enthusiasts. Despite the hefty price tag and expensive component repair costs, early buyers who secured the initial batch can expect their shipments around the official October retail launch date, while latecomers face a three-month waiting period.
