iPhone Duos are already fetching $5,000 on eBay after selling out on Apple’s website.
Listings on the auction website show dozens of sales of the in-demand foldable for as high as $4,999, which represents about $1,800 in profit for the seller.
The iPhone Duo officially went on sale at 5 a.m. this morning, but within minutes ship dates slipped to late January, 2027 — three months after the new handset is supposed to be available.

Apple’s first foldable was tipped to be a hot ticket but sales already seem to be unprecedented.
The handset sold out within minutes of online pre-orders opening at 5 a.m. this morning. The new iPhone was supposed to be available on Friday, October 23, but delivery dates have already slipped to January 25, 2027.
It’s unclear if the Duo will be available in Apple retail stores on October 23. The company says to check for store availability on Saturday, October 24.
Big markups
eBay shows that at least four iPhone Duo handsets have sold for $4,999. There are dozens of other sales of iPhone Duos from $3,000 and up. The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 on Apple’s website.
One eBay sale of a normally $2,599 1TB iPhone Duo netted $4,999, a profit of $2,400.
Another listing marked as sold is for a 2TB Night Sky iPhone Duo. This model sells for $3,199 on Apple’s website, representing a $1,800 markup. The seller –“cheapdeals2k16” — is also charging about $200 in shipping.
