Apple has reportedly expanded production targets for the upcoming foldable iPhone Duo by roughly 30% to around 10 million units, according to industry reports cited by Tom’s Guide. If accurate, the increased manufacturing run could help reduce initial shortages and shipment delays for prospective buyers. Pre-orders are slated to begin Friday, October 16 at 8 a.m. ET ahead of an October 23 release, with Apple allowing buyers to pre-configure orders in advance. However, launch supply may still face high initial demand, and delivery timelines will depend on configuration availability.
