Today is iPhone Duo launch day, and Apple Stores around the world have turned it into a celebration. In a press release published this morning, Apple shared pictures from the launch, while 9to5Mac readers sent in photos from their local Apple Stores.
Apple says the highly anticipated iPhone Duo made its debut at Apple Store locations worldwide on Friday, October 23. Customers filled stores across the globe, and team members offered hands-on demos and personalized shopping support for the first foldable iPhone. Greg Joswiak, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, is celebrating at the flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York, alongside retail executive Vanessa Trigub. Apple CEO John Ternus is marking the launch in Austin, TX, at the Domain NORTHSIDE location with retail chief Deirdre O'Brien. Mark Gurman reports that Ternus toured Apple's Austin offices this week. The Formula 1 United States Grand Prix is also taking place in Austin this weekend, and Apple is the exclusive F1 streamer in the US.
Lines formed at Apple Stores worldwide overnight as shoppers hoped to buy an iPhone Duo with walk-in availability. Apple had warned that retail inventory would be limited, and that appears to be the case. Store workers are telling disappointed customers to check the Apple Store app at 10 a.m. ET for in-store inventory details. In Las Vegas, a line that had 30-40 people at 4:15am had grown to 150 or more by later in the morning.
