Apple caps iPhone Duo purchases at two units per customer
The restriction applies in the US, UK and other markets, with Apple's checkout blocking orders above the limit. Shipping estimates slipped into January shortly after preorders opened. Several reports suggest the cap is intended to deter scalpers buying scarce devices and reselling them at higher prices.
- Some eBay listings reach $5,000, according to PCMag.
- PCMag says it is unclear whether the purchase limit is new.
