    Haven’t seen this much Hype for an iPhone in probably over a decade. Wild.

    People are idiots – folding phones have been on the market for 8 years – NOTHING new here – NOTHING to see here !!

      I’m a doctor, I make $360k a year, I had Z fold 3 and then 4 and then I went back to Apple. I had Nokia 3310 when I was in high school. My family all have iPhones. I have 13 Pro Max and I want Duo to be able to go back to folding phones. You think I don’t know that Duo is not the first foldable lol? It’s the first Apple foldable – that will allow me for the first time to go foldable while staying Apple and being able to FaceTime my family and within Apple ecosystem. People are not idiots, it’s just you are projecting your insecurities to others. To me you sound like an idiot (from Latin idiota – eg not knowing things) that repeats the same mantra posting comments under videos of people who are happy for their Duo. Why are you an idiot? For starters I know more than you (not only in medicine), I have more money than you, I know ore languages than you (English is my 3rd language), I know why people like Apple, I know why Apple is successful, I know how money works, simply put I’m way more superior, and I can see your anger lol that eats you from inside. In my work I see a lot of legit imbeciles. You are between imbecile and idiot.

    Must be nice to be able to afford gas, groceries and rent. Assuming these people can, of course. Must make sense why they’re here waiting in line.

    Most of the people will be on monthly plan for 2 years just to be popular and show off in their friends group. 👀💀

      October 23, 2026 at 7:54 pm

      but I don’t have any friends and im on a monthly plan so what does that make me? I just want to have a fun cool gadget

    Not a fan of the form factor. I have the pixel 10 fold and I mostly use it closed anyway. I use it open but for quick stuff always closed. I think most people will use it closed but they don’t know that yet. And that form factor will become annoying closed

    • @fallinginthed33p

      October 23, 2026 at 8:30 pm

      I’ve seen plenty of foldables around over the past few years. But they were all used closed 😅 what’s the point of paying so much more for the inside screen that never gets used?

    Ok

    When it comes to marketing and building hype, you have to give it to Apple. That right there is a marketing masterclass… Samsung, Google should learn from this hype machine.

    I can understand people doing this because they have a YouTube channel, but the people that just want the phone, they need to get a life

Did you go to an Apple Store today? 👀🍎

CNET Editor at Large Bridget Carey, and other CNET editors and reporters took a trip to their local stores to get a look at the lines for the iPhone Duo launch so you don’t have to.

We don’t know how many iPhone Duos are available at each store or when Apple will restock its physical locations. But there’s a limit of two iPhone Duos per person, per day, which marks the first time in a long time that Apple’s put a cap on how many you can buy. And yes, some of the stores we went to already sold out.

Here’s how the day went and how long people were willing to wait to get their hands on this $1,999 first-generation Apple product. #apple #applestore #iphoneduo #onemorething #foldable
