The iPhone Duo launch in Singapore caused resale prices to rise sharply. It is worth reading because the story shows how limited supply and big demand can push prices up.

The launch attracted over 200 people, with lines forming as early as 4:30 a.m. and a customer waiting more than 10 hours, according to local reports. This shows the strong desire to own the new phone.

More than 200 resale offers appeared on Carousell within hours of launch, with most priced between S$3,099 and over S$6,000. The most expensive resale listing was S$6,888 for the 2TB Night Sky model, while official retail prices range from S$3,099 to S$4,899.

According to Bloomberg, the iPhone Duo is being released in much more limited quantities than previous Apple models. New orders through Apple’s website receive delivery dates in January 2027, with some estimates in November‑December, marking one of the longest waits in Apple’s modern history.
