Apple has announced that it will have limited numbers of its folding iPhone Duo available for walk-in customers when the device launches on Friday, following the rapid sell-out of initial online orders.
The company stated that its teams are looking forward to welcoming customers at Apple Stores to experience the new iPhone Duo and the entire iPhone lineup.
However, the availability of walk-in units will vary by country, with some regions offering limited walk-in purchases while others will only have units available for customers who have already made online purchases.
In the United States, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and much of the UK and Europe, both online order pickup and limited walk-in purchases will be available.
Other regions, including mainland China, France, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the UAE, will only have iPhone Duo units available for customers who have already bought them online.
On the China-governed island of Macau, the iPhone Duo will be available for walk-in customers only, with limited inventory.
Apple emphasized that the iPhone Duo is a more complex product than standard candy-bar iPhones, with a tight-fitting hinge that may take time to manufacture in high volumes.
The company stated, 'Apple Stores will have limited iPhone Duo available for walk-in customers, and we’re working hard to get this revolutionary new product into customers’ hands as quickly as possible.'
On Friday morning, our teams look forward to welcoming customers at Apple Stores to experience iPhone Duo and the incredible iPhone line-up for themselves.
