Seven years after foldable phones arrived, Apple thinks the tech is ready for an iPhone.

Apple has unveiled its highly anticipated foldable iPhone, dubbed the iPhone Duo, more than seven years after Samsung debuted the first Galaxy Fold smartphone. The device will be available for preorders starting October 16th, with sales kicking off a month later on October 23rd. The Duo starts at $1,999 for 256GB of storage, with an option to upgrade to a 2TB model priced at $3,199.

Both colors available are star white and night sky. The foldable is set to debut in two hues: star white and night sky. It measures 5.2mm when open and 11.3mm when closed, making it thicker than both Samsung's similar foldables and most other recent Android models.
