Why the $3,000+ iPhone Duo is sold out until January: one buyer's theory
RayFernando1337 · x · 2026-10-21
Ray Fernando overpaid for a top-spec iPhone Duo (> $3,000) and still waits until Friday while others got January slots — even the 2TB model shows January on apple.com. His theory: hinge-plus-dual-battery phones are hard to build, demand caught Apple off guard, Chinese New Year shuts factories right after, and memory prices keep climbing. He notes it's pure speculation with zero insider insight.
