Apple iPhone Duo sells out quickly, shortages drive up prices in India
Apple’s foldable iPhone Duo, priced at ₹2,99,900, sold out of limited in‑store inventory and was fully pre‑booked in Mumbai and New Delhi within its first week. Retailers in India are charging an additional ₹70,000‑₹1 lakh, while scalpers in Beijing are offering to pay extra for the device. Analysts estimate the Duo could capture about 24% of the foldable market segment.
Why it matters: Supply constraints and premium pricing signal strong demand and potential profitability for hardware and supply‑chain professionals.
