Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, is nearing its release. A "Get Ready" pre-sale window opens on October 12, allowing users to configure their orders ahead of official UK pre-orders on October 16. The device will be available in stores and online starting October 23.
Prices for the iPhone Duo begin at £1,999 for the 256GB model, with 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB options priced higher. This marks an increase across Apple's premium lineup, attributed to global memory supply shortages. The foldable boasts a durable Grade 5 titanium build with Ceramic Shield and a passport-style design.
When unfolded, the iPhone Duo reveals a 7.6-inch tablet-style display ideal for multitasking. It runs on the A20 Pro chip with iOS 27, which includes an AI overhaul for Siri and a "iPhone Handoff" feature. Due to space constraints, Face ID has been replaced by a side-mounted Touch ID sensor.
The device features a dual-lens 48-megapixel rear camera system and offers significant battery life, with up to 44 hours of playback on the outer screen. It also supports MagSafe wireless fast charging, capable of reaching 50% charge in 20 minutes.
