Apple's long-rumored foldable becomes reality with the $2,000 iPhone Duo

Apple officially unveiled its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, at its annual fall keynote event on September 10, 2026. The device starts at $1,999 for the 256GB storage model, with prices going up to $3,199 for the 2TB variant. The iPhone Duo features a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.4-inch outer display, and it supports the Apple Pencil. Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo began on October 16, 2026, with the official release date set for October 23, 2026. Apple is offering customers a four-day window from October 12-15 to set up their pre-orders, allowing them to select color, storage, and accessories through the Apple Store app or website. This move positions Apple to compete with existing foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Google Pixel Fold, which were released in 2019 and 2023, respectively.
