It is understood thatApple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, is exclusively assembled and produced by Foxconn's factories in China. This model presents significant manufacturing challenges, and the factory is currently going all out to stock up and boost production capacity.
Just a few days ago, on October 11, Apple's Chief Operating Officer Sabih Khan visited the Foxconn Technology Park in Zhengzhou, Henan, to inspect the new product production lines on-site.
When asked by the media about the production capacity of the iPhone Duo at the time, Sabih Khan stated that the team has been advancing manufacturing development for this innovative product and is currently expanding production scale in accordance with Apple's consistent high-quality standards.
According to Apple's autumn launch event this year, the iPhone Duo comes in four storage versions: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB, priced at 15,999 yuan, 17,999 yuan, 21,499 yuan, and 26,499 yuan respectively. Pre-sales for this device will begin at 8 PM on October 16, with official shipping starting on October 23.
On the eve of pre-sales, excitement for this new foldable device has reached its peak. According to previous reports from Fast Technology, reservations on JD.com's self-operated channel alone exceeded 2 million, not including reservation data from Apple's official website, the Tmall Apple Official Flagship Store, or offline Apple Store direct outlets. For a high-end foldable product with a starting price of nearly 16,000 yuan, these reservation figures are quite impressive.
