Some buyers who missed the first wave now face waiting until January for delivery. The bottleneck is reportedly the Duo's tight-fitting hinge, which is tricky to build and is slowing the factory ramp-up. Some countries will offer only limited walk-in sales, while others will reserve every unit for online orders. The book-style phone opens from a 5.4-inch outer screen into a 7.6-inch mini tablet.

The Duo costs £800 more than Apple's flagship iPhone 18 Pro, which starts at £1,199.

Reviewers warn it drops face unlocking, a key security feature on other iPhones.

It also ships without Reachability, and Apple says a fix will come later.
