Apple’s $2,000 Foldable iPhone Duo Goes on Sale, Draws Overnight Queues

Apple's entry into foldables is a test of whether premium pricing can expand a segment that has stayed niche, and the overnight queues suggest early demand is real rather than merely promotional. The more telling signal is supply: Apple is described as facing a challenge meeting demand, which points to either cautious initial production or genuine pull. How quickly availability normalizes will indicate whether this is launch-window enthusiasm or durable appetite for a $2,000 form factor, and whether the foldable category finally moves beyond its niche status is the open question.
