iPhone Duo Sells Out on Zepto: First Foldable Order Lands in 8:13 AM

Some people queue outside Apple stores at dawn. Others open an app and wait for the doorbell. On launch day, Zepto customers chose the second option, and the iPhone Duo vanished fast.

iPhone Duo on Zepto

What Zepto Said?

A Zepto spokesperson confirmed the rush: “The Apple Duo has seen an enthusiastic response from customers on Zepto, with all units allocated to us by Apple selling out on the platform.” The company added that it has already requested additional inventory to meet the strong demand.

In other words, if you missed out, a restock may be on its way. Keep the app handy.

Why Was It Gone So Fast?

Apple’s first foldable iPhone was always going to be scarce. Here is what we know:

• Tiny supply: Apple is reportedly bringing only 6,000 units of the iPhone Duo to India in its first week. That figure is a report, not an Apple confirmation.
• Pre-order frenzy: The phone reportedly sold out within minutes of pre-orders opening on October 16th, pushing delivery estimates into January.
• Purchase limits: Apple has capped purchases at two units per customer on its website and app.

Should You Pay Extra for Grey-Market Units?

Probably not. Reports say grey-market sellers are demanding around Rs 50,000 over the actual price, and those units can mean no Indian invoice and no warranty or service support through authorised channels. For a phone near Rs 3 lakh, waiting for official stock is the smarter bet.

How to Grab One When Stock Returns?

1. Open the Zepto app and search “iPhone Duo.”
2. Turn on notifications and keep your payment method ready.
3. Check back early in the morning, since the first order landed at 8:13 AM.
