Shipping projections for the iPhone Duo have shifted, with delivery windows now extending into 2027. This adjustment comes as Apple grapples with the scale of consumer interest following the product's introduction.
Company leadership described the volume of early orders as being far beyond what was expected. This surge in demand has outpaced the current ability to fulfill orders, necessitating the updated timeline for customers.
What it means
The delay suggests a significant gap between Apple's initial production forecasts and the actual market appetite for the Duo. Customers who expected the device sooner will now face a multi-year wait as the company attempts to scale its supply chain to meet the extraordinary level of interest.
