Overview
- The iPhone Duo went on sale Friday, Oct. 23, 2026, the same day Apple marked 25 years since Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPod.
- Apple placed a fully functional original‑iPod emulator on the Apple Music 404 page that recreates the click wheel, lists roughly 1,000 tracks and plays short song previews.
- The virtual player also hides a Brick breakout game and settings that emulate the original device, and it can be reached by visiting music.apple.com/404 in a browser.
- Reviewers broadly say the Duo shines when unfolded with its large inner display but delivers a weaker experience when closed, and multiple reports say demand is outpacing retail supply.
- Apple has scheduled an Oct. 28 ‘Pro and Tell’ event expected to focus on new Mac hardware, and the day’s pairing of nostalgia and a high‑end foldable highlights how Apple leverages its product legacy while managing supply, reviews and a packed launch calendar.
