Briefings
A new report indicates Apple employees are instructed to inform customers that iPhone Duo launch sales may be limited to pre-order buyers only, suggesting a potential challenge for walk-in purchases at the device's launch.
Key points
- Apple employees are being told to warn customers that iPhone Duo launch sales may be limited to pre-order buyers only.
- The report does not specify the exact date of the launch or the number of pre-orders available.
