Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, sold out in just five minutes after going on sale on the quick-commerce platform Blinkit in Delhi-NCR on Friday, October 23, 2026. The new device starts at ₹299,900 in India for the 256GB model and goes up to ₹449,900 for the top-end 2TB variant.
Pricing and Specs
The 512GB variant is priced at ₹324,900, while the 1TB version costs ₹374,900. The phone features a 7.6-inch foldable screen on the inside and a 5.4-inch screen on the outside. It runs on Apple's A20 Pro chip, includes a 48MP Dual Fusion camera system, and comes with a titanium frame.
Sales and Leasing
Albinder Dhindsa, the founder of Blinkit, shared on X that the units sold out instantly after the sale began at 8:15 am, though he did not reveal the exact inventory quantity while noting that more stock will arrive in the coming weeks. For buyers in eligible markets, Apple offers an Upgrade leasing program through Klarna, with PCMag reporting monthly costs starting around $57.99 for a 24-month lease and $82.99 for a 12-month lease.
Context
Quick-commerce apps like Blinkit have expanded beyond groceries to deliver high-end consumer electronics in minutes. High-priced flagship smartphone launches often face limited initial stock, leading to rapid sellouts even at ultra-premium price points.
