Apple’s first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, sold out on Blinkit within just five minutes of its launch in Delhi-NCR on Friday, October 23. The phone starts at Rs 2,99,900 in India, making its quick sellout a surprise for many online users.
Albinder Dhindsa, founder of Blinkit, shared the update on X and said more units would be available in the coming weeks. However, he did not reveal how many phones were offered for sale, leading some users to question the scale of the sellout.
Blinkit Says iPhone Duo Sold Out Within Five Minutes
Dhindsa said the phone went live on Blinkit at 8:15 am and all available units were sold within five minutes. He also added that the platform was “working on getting more stock in the coming weeks.”
The update led
users to ask how many units had actually been listed. Some questioned whether the quick sellout showed strong demand or simply reflected limited stock.
“How many units 2 or 5? Because Apple themselves have admitted luke warm response to their Duo mobiles. So unless you are selling single digit, this ain’t possible,” one user commented.
Others joked about the phone’s high price and the speed at which it sold out. “What did I tell you? Apple made a great mistake by not launching it in 10L. It would have still been sold out within minutes,” one user commented.
Another wrote, “This means we are rich nation,” while a different user asked, “How many were without the EMI option?”
X Users React To The Expensive Phone’s Quick Sellout
The phone’s price became a major talking point, with users expressing surprise that a device costing nearly Rs 3 lakh could sell out so quickly.
Someone wrote, “5 minutes is insane but also so on brand for delhi ncr the way yall treat a launch like its a dhol bajao wedding.” Another person said, “So India has rich people.”
The launch also drew crowds to Apple’s Saket Store inside Select Citywalk Mall in Delhi, where long queues formed as the phone went on sale.
