Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, is now available for pre-order as of Friday, October 16, 2026, at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time (1:00 p.m. BST). The device will begin shipping and arrive in stores on October 23, with availability expanding to 28 additional countries on October 30.
The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 in the U.S. and £1,999 in the UK, a significant premium over the iPhone 18 Pro. Storage tiers include 256GB ($1,999), 512GB ($2,199), 1TB ($2,599), and 2TB ($3,199).
Regional pricing varies across key global markets: €2,299 in Germany, ₹299,900 in India, ¥364,800 in Japan, and CNY 15,999 in China. Customers can reduce overall costs through multiple promotional channels and trade-in initiatives.
Apple's trade-in program offers $35 to $885 in instant credit for an iPhone 8 Plus or newer model. AT&T provides up to $1,200 off with an eligible trade-in and premium 2.0 plan, while T-Mobile offers up to $1,000 off on qualifying mobile plans.
The iPhone Duo features a 7.58-inch inner display and a 5.4-inch outer screen, powered by the advanced A20 Pro chip for peak efficiency and performance. It runs iOS 27 equipped with Siri AI capabilities, supports robust Split View multitasking, and includes a sophisticated 48-megapixel fusion main and ultra-wide camera system.
The handset is available in sophisticated color options including Star White and Night Sky, alongside dedicated accessories like the folio case and comprehensive AppleCare protection options. Industry analysts and supply chain reports suggest limited initial production volumes, meaning standard shipping dates and delivery windows may slip quickly for late buyers.
Consumers are advised to complete their pre-orders promptly through official Apple channels or authorized carrier partners to secure early delivery slots.
