APPLE CALLS IPHONE DUO PRE-ORDER DEMAND ‘EXTRAORDINARY' AS SHIPPING DATES SLIP

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple says iPhone Duo pre-order demand has been “nothing short of extraordinary,” with shipping estimates quickly slipping from October into January and even February in some countries. Limited initial supply appears to be amplifying the delays, while Apple says it is working to get devices to customers as quickly as possible and will continue accepting online orders. The shortages have already created a resale market, with scalpers listing pre-orders for prices as high as $10,000.
