Apple is capping U.S. iPhone Duo purchases at two units per customer, MacRumors reported on Monday, October 19.

According to the report, trying to order more than two phones through Apple's website or the Apple Store app brings up a notice reading that a maximum of two iPhone Duo can be purchased per customer. The U.S. store does not show the restriction up front. It only appears once a shopper tries to add a third Duo to the cart.

Apple has been more explicit elsewhere. MacRumors notes that two-per-customer limits were already listed in advance in China, Singapore and Hong Kong, so the U.S. cap brings the American store closer to those markets.

Apple has acknowledged that some iPhone 18 Pro Max owners on AT&T have lost cellular service, which blocks calls, texts and mobile data. MacRumors reports that thousands of owners described the problem on Apple's Support Community and elsewhere.

In a statement, Apple said the issue affects "a small number" of iPhone 18 Pro Max users on the AT&T network. It said iOS 27.0.1 and an AT&T carrier settings update are intended to prevent it from happening in the first place.

For phones already affected, a software fix does not work. Apple says they must be replaced. Owners can contact Apple Support or AT&T, or visit an Apple Store or AT&T location. MacRumors says Apple Stores appear likely to replace affected units at no charge.
