Apple's first folding phone, the iPhone Duo, went on sale with pre-order shipping dates pushed out as far as January shortly after launch. WSJ reporter Rolf Winkler and host Danny Lewis discuss how high demand and potential supply chain bottlenecks have impacted availability for the nearly $2,000 device.
“Apple's first ever folding phone, the iPhone Duo, is finally on sale. It's one of Apple's splashiest new products. But have you actually tried buying one yet? Because just minutes after pre-orders for the nearly $2,000 phone went up, the company's website was quoting shipping dates as far out as January.”
“And they just haven't been able to make enough of them, it seems, to meet the demand.”
