iPhone Duo Pre-Orders Backordered to Next Year Within Minutes

Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, opened for pre-order on October 16, 2026, but delivery estimates quickly slipped to January 25.

The first iPhone Duo pre-orders are set to arrive on October 23, but only for customers who placed their orders in time, the report said.

As of 8:30 a.m. ET, all iPhone Duo configurations were backordered until next year. Every color and storage combination showed an estimated ship date of January 25, according to 9to5Mac.

The shift from launch-day delivery to a January shipment window happened shortly after pre-orders opened. The report also asked readers who secured an iPhone Duo pre-order to share which configuration they chose and what estimated delivery date they received.
