Briefings
The iPhone Duo launched in November 2025, but a significant portion of day-one buyers are abandoning the device within two weeks due to dissatisfaction with its design and price. The company has offered a full refund to these early adopters, though the product remains an early adopter device with ongoing design issues. The evidence indicates the device is not suitable for all users, creating a market mismatch that requires a refund policy to manage.
