The new Apple iPhone Duo is $1,000 off with this wild preorder deal — how to claim

Apple has unveiled its first-ever foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, which will be available with a staggering $1,000 discount through a special preorder deal with T-Mobile. To qualify for this offer, customers must switch to T-Mobile and bring their number on an Experience Beyond plan. The $1,000 discount is provided as 36 monthly bill credits, covering the phone's full pre-credit retail value, but the customer must still pay local sales tax and T-Mobile's standard $35 device connection fee upfront at checkout.

If the customer cancels their service, switches plans, or carriers before the third year, the remaining hardware balance becomes due immediately. While preorders opened at 8 a.m. ET on Friday, the phone sold out within moments. With Black Friday approaching, carrier deals like this might be the best way to acquire the iPhone Duo at a significantly reduced price.
