Apple limits iPhone Duo orders to two per customer
Key points
- Apple is limiting iPhone Duo purchases to two per customer.
- The limit applies in the US, UK and other regions.
- Shipping dates slipped into January of next year within minutes of pre-orders opening.
- Some resellers are listing the foldable on eBay for up to $5,000.
Summary
(AI)
Apple has not been quoted in any of this coverage. The link to scalping is the outlets’ reading of the situation, not a stated reason. 9to5Mac says the move appears to be an attempt to tackle scalping, and PCMag says the limit appears to be aimed at resellers.
It is also unclear whether the limit is new. PCMag says it could not tell if the cap was added after pre-orders opened or was in place from the start. The coverage does not say whether Apple plans to change the limit as supply improves.
