How much Apple’s iPhone Duo will cost in South Africa

The iPhone Duo could easily land at above R50 000 locally, according to calculations by TechCentral.

Apple has officially launched its first-ever foldable device, the highly anticipated iPhone Duo, at its big Surprise and Shine iPhone event. The sentiment across the internet seems positive. The new iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 for the 256GB storage model, making it the most expensive starting price for an iPhone ever. However, this price is actually lower than the previously reported rumors of $2,300.

If customers want to purchase the maximum storage capacity of 2TB, the price jumps to $3,199, which is the most expensive iPhone ever. This is $700 more expensive than the brand new iPhone 18 Pro Max with 2TB of storage, which will retail for $2,499. Interestingly, the 2TB iPhone 18 Pro Max, priced at $2,499, is actually cheaper than the 1TB iPhone Duo, which is set to launch at $2,599.

Despite the premium, Apple fans will have to pay a significant amount for the company's first-ever foldable device.
