iPhone Duo sold out in Singapore

The first customer at Gain City’s Sungei Kadut store began queuing for his iPhone Duo from 3pm on 22 October. A full day before the device would go on sale. 

Fortunately for him, Gain City offered the first 100 people who queued a free breakfast, plus seating and air coolers to keep them comfortable as part of its iPhone Duo promotion. 

As the first in line, the self-employed man from Jakarta said he appreciated the breakfast and supper Gain City provided and that it made the experience more pleasant than other times he’d queued for other Apple devices at other retail stores.  

While all stock sold out, early reports said that buyers seemed most interested in grabbing a Star White model. 

Despite offering seating and breakfast only to the first 100 customers in the queue, Gain City said about 300 people lined up before the store opened, so they turned away some due to limited iPhone Duo stock. 

Apple didn’t provide hard numbers for the crowd at the Orchard Road store, other than saying it sold out of all available iPhone Duo models. Our colleague who attended the launch said people approached him, offering more than he’d paid to buy his iPhone Duo.
