Overview
- Apple added a ‘‘Get Ready’’ option to the iPhone Duo product page that lets buyers pre-select color, capacity, carrier, accessories, AppleCare+, trade‑in and payment details beginning Monday, October 12.
- Official pre-orders for the foldable iPhone Duo start Friday, October 16 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, with the device scheduled to ship and appear in stores on October 23.
- Apple lists the iPhone Duo base price at $1,999 and positions the model as a premium foldable built around iOS 27 features and on‑device AI.
- Multiple industry reports and analysts say production limits for advanced chips, memory and the hinge assembly are likely to keep early supply modest and could cause pre-orders to sell out quickly.
- Carriers and retailers will offer trade‑in and financing options that can change the effective purchase price, and Apple says completing Get Ready makes checkout faster when pre-orders open.
