Apple has officially introduced the iPhone Duo, its foldable iPhone<\/a>. Pre-orders open on October 16<\/strong>, and the phone goes on sale October 23. Pricing starts at $1,999 for the 256GB model, according to Apple.<\/p>\n\n

The bet is obvious: Apple thinks people will pay up for a foldable iPhone. Analysts are already talking about roughly 6 million sales by the end of 2026. Even so, early reports say final assembly yields are only a little above 60%<\/strong>, which points to tight stock at launch.<\/p>\n

On Apple\u2019s numbers, you\u2019ll get up to 44 hours of video playback on the 5.4-inch outer display and 31 hours on the 7.6-inch inner screen. The phone also brings foldable-focused iOS 27<\/strong> features, including Split View, App Store<\/a> apps optimized for the iPhone Duo, a matte nano-texture finish, two 48MP rear cameras, and support for Apple Pencil USB-C. Then there\u2019s everything Apple hasn\u2019t really answered yet: real-world battery life, hinge durability, display wear over time, dust resistance, third-party app support, MagSafe compatibility, and the missing telephoto lens.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019ve been waiting for Apple\u2019s first-gen foldable, this is a launch to keep an eye on. The demo will look polished. The details will matter more. Apple says pre-orders begin October 16<\/strong>, with the first release covering roughly 70 countries and regions, and another 28 markets coming later.<\/p>\n
