As the eagerly awaited iPhone Duo approaches its October 23 launch, the first unboxing video has emerged online. This footage, obtained by an individual who secured an early device, showcases the unique packaging of the iPhone Duo. Unlike its folded counterpart, the iPhone Duo ships flat, mirroring the packaging of other iPhones.

The device's official launch is scheduled for October 23, with purchases from Apple's online store not expected to arrive until January 25.

In regions such as Japan, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates, Apple's website indicates that the iPhone Duo will be limited to customers with a reservation for device pickup.
