Apple has opened pre-orders for the iPhone Duo — its first foldable smartphone, in the US and India, with deliveries scheduled to begin in early December 2026. The device is priced at $1,899 in the US and ₹1,99,999 in India, according to Apple’s official storefronts as confirmed by 9to5Mac’s October 16 daily recap. No other regional pricing was reported. Pre-orders launched Thursday, October 16, following Apple’s October 15 launch event. Though no live stream or press release was published by Apple itself. The timing and availability were confirmed solely through retail channel activity tracked by 9to5Mac. The iPhone Duo is not listed on Apple’s Indian or US websites as of this writing, but third-party retailers including Flipkart and Best Buy have begun accepting orders with estimated shipping windows starting December 3. Apple has not announced a global rollout schedule beyond these two markets. No technical specifications, display size, hinge design, or battery capacity were disclosed in the reporting. The only verified detail remains the name, price, and pre-order window. That leaves buyers in the US and India with a clear choice, and a steep entry point. But no public spec sheet, no hands-on reviews, and no regulatory filings cited to confirm hardware claims. Apple’s silence on the device outside of retail activation suggests a tightly controlled, phased launch. Next: shipments begin December 3. Until then, all that’s confirmed is the price, the name, and the date pre-orders went live.
