Apple CEO John Ternus said the company cannot predict when iPhone Duo supply and demand will balance, in a Reuters interview cited by 9to5Mac. Apple Store shipping estimates remain in late January, where they have stayed since initial preorders sold out on October 16.

Ternus also said a "very small percentage" of units had been returned with display issues, and Apple is replacing them. The Duo went on sale in October, so its sales were outside Apple's July-September earnings period.
