Apple has launched its highly anticipated $2,000 iPhone Duo, marking its entry into the foldable smartphone market. The debut saw long lines and limited supply, reflecting strong demand. Preorders for the device, which is priced from $1,999, sold out almost instantly, with delivery estimates now pushed into January. The device’s advanced technology and limited production facilities have constrained supply. This launch positions Apple against market leaders Samsung and Huawei in the competitive foldable category.

The market will be closely observing Apple’s ability to scale production and manage supply chain constraints. Attention will also focus on any subsequent announcements from Apple regarding production increases or additional facilities. These developments could be consistent with scenarios where Apple’s stock price approaches the $368 target, subject to broader market conditions and consumer responses.
