iPhone Duo preorders are now live: Everything you need to know before buying Apples first foldable

Apple has released preorders for its highly anticipated iPhone Duo, a foldable smartphone that made its debut announcement in September following years of speculation. The device, set to arrive on October 23, boasts a unique passport-style design with a nano-textured inner display, a concealed selfie camera, and an impressive A20 Pro chip for lightning-fast performance. The innovative hinge design incorporates a flexible graphite pipe to ensure efficient cooling.

Mashable's senior editor Stan Schroeder expressed his satisfaction with the iPhone Duo's performance during a hands-on experience at Apple Park, hinting at an upcoming full review. For those considering preordering the iPhone Duo, a comprehensive guide is provided. New models start at $1,999 when equipped with 256GB of storage, with options to increase storage to 512GB ($2,199) or 1TB ($2,599).

The top-tier model with 2TB of storage is priced at an impressive $3,199, marking it as the costliest iPhone ever introduced. By comparison, a high-end MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro chip and 2TB of storage shares the same price point.

Preorders for the iPhone Duo commenced on October 16 at 8 a.m. ET (5 a.m. PT), granting early buyers the opportunity to personalize their device's startup screen with their name, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The excitement surrounding the iPhone Duo's release is palpable as Apple continues to push the boundaries of mobile technology with this groundbreaking innovation.
