Apple opened iPhone Duo pre-orders on Friday at 5am Pacific<\/a>, and by mid-morning the online store had stopped promising October. Anyone ordering the iPhone Duo now is being quoted a January 22 delivery date<\/strong>, three months after the October 23 launch the first buyers are still getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 22 Shows Up In Every Country Checked<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The same date came back across the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, India, Australia, New Zealand and China. Switching between Star White and Night Sky didn\u2019t change it, and neither did moving between storage sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That last part is the unusual bit. With most iPhone launches the expensive top storage tiers stay available longer, because fewer people pay for them, but the $3,199 2TB model is backed up to January just like the $1,999 base version<\/strong>. When even the most expensive configuration has gone, the shortage is in the phone itself rather than in any one variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shortage Was Predicted Back In September<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Supply has been the worry since the Duo was announced on September 9. Jeff Pu at GF Securities cut his 2026 forecast in a mid-September note, blaming the hinge, which is harder to produce at volume than anything else in the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
