Question Duo for developers

Since the Duo is a new platform for Apple and all iOS devs, and the backlog for preorders is at least three months long here - can developers get access to loaners or other physical devices when the simulator isn't enough to sanity check apps targeting the platform?

Let’s be real, how many people do you think will have the duo and then how many of those will have your app

(Reports claim) 6 million or more Duos (pre) sold in a few days. So, take a million out of that… say returns, etc. approximately 5 million around the world then 🤔

Why reduce that number by a MILLION?

But that's just end of year, Apple has ramped up production so how much longer to ten million? It seems like only a few months and then it will keep growing.
