Apple uvádí skládací iPhone Duo
Apple uvádí do prodeje svůj první skládací smartphone iPhone Duo. Novinky reported that customers gathered early in the morning outside the company’s largest Asian store in Shanghai to purchase the device, which unfolds into the size of a small tablet. In the Czech Republic, online preorders opened on October 16 and completely sold out ahead of the official release date, according to mobilenet.cz. The device features a 7.6-inch OLED internal display, an Apple A20 Pro processor, and 2,000 GB of storage, retailing in a market where early stock has vanished.
Strict regional inventory rules limit availability
Securing the iPhone Duo on launch day required following strict regional inventory rules and mandatory digital preorders. Novinky noted that in countries including China, France, Hong Kong, India, and Japan, physical stores only handed over devices to customers who had secured an internet reservation beforehand. Unreserved stock remained severely restricted, with limited walk-in units available solely in the United States, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and portions of Britain and Europe. Czech buyers faced a similar bottleneck, as high demand exhausted local online allocations within days of the initial October preorder window.
Hardware Design and Reviewer Durability Tests
Early testers have subjected the iPhone Duo to rigorous physical trials to evaluate its hinge mechanism and internal folding screen. Živě reported that YouTuber Tim Pan executed 11,500 folds—including strojových složení při pokojové teplotě and složení a rozložení při teplotě −20 °C—which resulted in a noticeably deeper crease along the display panel while the mechanical hinge continued functioning. Meanwhile, mobilenet.cz highlighted that the device arrives in a matte finish that resists fingerprints, lacks physical SIM support in favor of eSIM, and replaces Face ID with a side-mounted Touch ID capacitive power button built into its thin titanium chassis.
