Apple's foldable iPhone Duo goes on sale today

Apple's first foldable iPhone, called the iPhone Duo, goes on sale on Friday, October 23, 2026, in more than 70 countries and regions, including the United States. Apple announced the phone on September 9, and pre-orders opened on October 16.

When open, the iPhone Duo has a 7.6-inch screen. When closed, it has a 5.4-inch screen on the outside. Apple says the hinge is made of more than 100 parts and supports the middle of the screen so that it stays flat when the phone is open.

The phone uses Apple's A20 Pro chip, made with a 2-nanometer process. It has two 48-megapixel cameras, a 2x telephoto camera, and a front camera under the inner screen for video calls. There is one battery on each side. Apple says it lasts up to 31 hours of video on the inner screen and up to 44 hours on the outer screen.

The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 in the US, with 256GB of storage. It also comes with 512GB, 1TB and 2TB. Apple says 28 more countries and regions will get it on Friday, October 30.

Supply looks tight. Apple said its stores would have a limited number of phones for people who walk in, and reports say online orders placed now may not arrive before January 2027.
