iPhone Duo launches today: reviews call it the best foldable but “a first-gen device in every possible way”; Jumbo sold out within hours and Apple raised production orders 40%

Friday is the first sales day for the iPhone Duo in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, from AED 8,499. The review consensus: the best design and the least visible crease of any foldable, but no telephoto, no Face ID, and apps that haven’t adapted yet. In the UAE, Jumbo says it sold out within hours and Eros says some variants are temporarily unavailable, while DigiTimes reports Apple raised its shipment target from 9.7 to 14 million units.
