iPhone Duo is sold out with shipping slipped to late January — sell my iPhone 15 now or hold?
frugaljo asked
The foldable iPhone Duo sold out at launch and new orders are shipping late January 2027. My iPhone 15 is in good shape, battery 91%. I was planning to upgrade anyway next year. If I sell now on the used market while the hype is hot, do I actually pocket more, or does the Duo launch crash used iPhone prices across the board? Paying a resale premium for the Duo is not in the budget.

- Wait, never pay the hype premium
Nobody should pay a resale premium on a first-gen foldable. Screens that fold are still a durability gamble and the early batches always have the quirks. Your 15 at 91% battery is fine — ride it out, let the Duo get a year of real-world failure data, then buy at a sane price.
