iPhone Duo sold out within minutes of opening deposits in Vietnam
(Dan Tri) - According to Dan Tri reporter, Apple's first folding screen iPhone fell out of stock after just a few minutes of opening deposits in the Vietnamese market.
At 7:00 p.m. on October 16, Apple and its authorized dealers in Vietnam opened the iPhone Duo pre-order portal.
Just a few minutes later, the screen displays the message "Sorry, the product you selected is out of stock".

On Apple's online store, users who order an iPhone Duo currently have to wait until early December to receive the device.
Many of the company's authorized dealers also ran out of orders within the first 1-2 minutes of opening the sale. Some dealers have even stopped accepting orders due to the limited number of machines.
"Up to the time before opening orders, we have recorded a large number of customers registering to receive early information about the product. In particular, the majority of consumer interest focuses on the iPhone Duo 256GB version with Star White color (Star White)", a representative of Minh Tuan Mobile system shared.
Meanwhile, Hoang Ha Mobile representative said that after only 10 minutes of opening orders, this unit recorded 1,000 iPhone Duo pre-orders nationwide.
A few days ago, Apple caused a lot of controversy when asking users in the Vietnamese market to deposit a sum of 30 million VND to be able to buy an iPhone Duo. This deposit is considered very large and unprecedented when ordering a phone.
During the recent sale of iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, users only needed to deposit 1-2 million VND for each order. A deposit of 30 million VND for a phone is something that has never happened before in the Vietnamese market.
This amount is even equivalent to or higher than the common deposit level when users order a car in the popular segment. For example, for the Vinfast VF2 model, the deposit is 10 million VND.

"Since opening the information, the system has recorded nearly 20,000 interested customers registering early information about the iPhone Duo. To receive the device early, users need to make a deposit to ensure they can receive the goods in the first batches.
The deposit of 30 million VND is not only a filter, but also a measure of the attractiveness of iPhone Duo. This choice helps target customers who are ready to own and fully experience the value that the device brings," said a representative of CellphoneS.
In the Vietnamese market, Apple offers iPhone Duo with a starting price of 65 million VND for the 256GB version. Versions with larger storage capacity such as 512GB, 1TB and 2TB are priced at 71.5 million VND, 84.5 million VND and 104 million VND respectively.
The device has 2 color options including Starlight White and Night Sky. iPhone Duo will be delivered to users at 8:00 a.m. October 23.
"iPhone Duo creates great appeal as it is a completely new product from Apple. Despite its relatively high price, the device still receives the attention of a segment of users who love to experience new technology," said a representative of Mobile America.

In addition to the iPhone 18 series, which is already in stock at CellphoneS, in all colors red, blue,... a full set of 0% installment payment privileges, old-sale price subsidy comes into existence and is committed to keeping the S-Buyback price back at least 65% in 15 months.
