Apple Caps iPhone Duo Purchases at Two Foldable Phones Per Person

Apple is restricting how many iPhone Duo foldable phones a single person can buy, capping each customer at two units. The limit is a sign that demand for the device is running ahead of what Apple can ship, and it is meant to keep stock from being hoarded or resold at inflated prices.

Foldable phones have been a niche category, and a new entry from Apple draws attention well beyond its usual audience. Purchase caps are a familiar tool for companies launching products in short supply, and they tend to show up when a limited release sells faster than retailers can restock.

For buyers, the practical effect is simple. Anyone who wants more than two units for family members, a business, or resale will have to look elsewhere, and the cap is likely to frustrate people who were planning larger orders. For everyone else, it is a reminder that early-release hardware can be hard to get in the first weeks on sale.

The report did not include details such as the exact start date of the limit or how long it will stay in place, so those points remain unconfirmed. Watch for an official statement from Apple on availability and any changes to the restriction.
