Apple Starts Mexican Preorders for iPhone Duo Foldable and iPhone 18 Pro Lineup

Official prices show a steep premium for the foldable and Pro models, a development fueling questions that Apple may be shifting away from lower‑cost iPhone lines under its new leadership.

Overview

  • Retailers in Mexico have listed official preorders for the iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, AirPods 5 and new Apple Watch models with in‑store listings and online offers.
  • Apple México’s posted prices put the iPhone Duo from 47,999 pesos for the 256 GB base model to 77,999 pesos for the 2 TB top model, while iPhone 18 Pro 256 GB examples appear near 29,999–31,999 pesos depending on model and retailer.
  • Major sellers such as Amazon México and Mercado Libre are offering preorder financing promotions, including extended monthly plans and bank‑specific coupons, but those offers do not change the headline prices.
  • The iPhone Duo is a book‑style foldable with a 7.6‑inch interior screen designed to bring tablet‑like display space and productivity use cases to an iPhone form factor.
  • Commentary in Mexican outlets frames the product mix and higher prices as a possible strategic tilt under CEO John Ternus away from cheaper iPhone variants, a point reported by analysts but not formally confirmed by Apple.
