iPhone Duo orders are already delayed into 2027

Apple’s first foldable iPhone is seeing immediate preorder delays into 2027, signaling either strong demand, constrained supply, or both. For CIOs and technology leaders, the key takeaway is that major new-device launches can create long lead times and procurement uncertainty, so IT organizations should expect staggered availability, plan device refreshes conservatively, and verify support, pricing, and app-readiness before committing to any foldable rollout.
