TREE NEWS reports: Apple’s first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, unveiled at its autumn launch event, has already seen presale orders close on Dewu at 39,999 yuan — 24,000 yuan, or about 150%, above the 15,999 yuan official starting price, with some merchants bidding as high as 59,999 yuan, 44,000 yuan over the official price, more than a month before official sales begin.
Apple’s Foldable iPhone Duo Resells at 39,999 Yuan, 150% Above Official Price
The scale of the Dewu markup — more than double the official price, with merchant bids reaching nearly four times it — signals that supply is expected to be far tighter than demand at launch, a pattern familiar from earlier Apple cycles but rarely this extreme before sales even begin. It matters most for resellers and for buyers weighing official channels against the grey market, and it puts pressure on Apple's allocation and anti-scalping posture. Whether the premium holds once official sales start, or collapses as supply arrives, is the open question.
