Apple has unveiled three new iPhone models: the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the first-ever foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo. The base model of the iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1199, while the iPhone Duo, priced at $1999, is the most expensive iPhone ever. Despite the price increase, Apple enthusiasts are eager to purchase the latest models. However, there is a waiting period before customers can obtain the new iPhones.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max can be pre-ordered starting Saturday, September 12 through Apple Store Online or the Apple Store app. The first batch of preorders will be shipped on September 18. In contrast, the iPhone Duo will not be available for pre-order and will be released directly in stores on October 23, 2026.
During the product launch event, Apple CEO John Ternus highlighted the larger display of the iPhone Duo, stating that it will provide users with new possibilities. The phone's design also differs from other foldable devices, according to Ternus. Meanwhile, Apple's marketing chief Greg Joswiak revealed that the Duo's internal screen will be 90% the size of the new iPhone 18 Pro, while the external screen on the passport-sized device will be 7.6 inches.
Additionally, the iOS software has been redesigned to take full advantage of the two screens, and the apple stylus will be compatible with the iPhone Duo.
