iPhone Duo Preorders Are Live, But Shipping Is Already Pushed into 2027

Preorders for Apple's innovative iPhone Duo are now available, but customers should act quickly as shipping is postponed until late January 2027. The device, set to release on October 23, is a foldable phone unlike any other in Apple's lineup. Shaped like a passport, the iPhone Duo features two ultra-thin panels that can display a 5.4-inch front screen for regular use or unfold into a 7.6-inch screen, comparable to an iPad mini. iOS has been adapted to accommodate the new form factor, with the dock moved to the right side of the display and apps capable of being used in full-screen or side-by-side.

The display utilizes wide-angle OLEDs with high brightness and a nano-texture finish to minimize the appearance of a crease. Despite being a relatively expensive device at $1,999.99, using a protective case and signing up for AppleCare is highly recommended due to Apple's challenges in meeting customer demand.
