iPhone Duo is now shipping
After being on pre-order for a whole week, the iPhone Duo is now officially available across 70 countries and regions. Those who placed their pre-orders on time last week will hopefully be getting their devices today and Apple will have limited supplies of Duo units at its physical stores too. Users who are currently trying to secure a Duo online are in for a long wait, with shipments being pushed to January as per the official Apple Store.
Some third-party retailers like Amazon also have the Duo in stock, but it seems that stocks are running out fast. Apple shared an official look at the iPhone Duo launch from its Apple Store in Jing’an, Shanghai.
