Apple has finalized the launch schedule for the iPhone Duo, its first foldable device.
The iPhone Duo is scheduled to begin shipping to customers and arrive in retail stores on October 23, 2026.
Recent supply-chain reports indicate that production yields at Foxconn for the specialized foldable components are currently hovering near 60%. These constraints suggest that initial stock may be limited for those seeking day-one delivery.
Technical Specifications and Pricing
The iPhone Duo features a dual-display design consisting of a 7.6-inch foldable inner screen and a 5.4-inch outer display. The 5.4-inch exterior footprint is reminiscent of the discontinued iPhone mini, specifically designed to prioritize one-handed usability when the device is closed. Under the hood, the device is powered by the A20 Pro chip and 12GB of RAM, running iOS 27.1—a version of the operating system specifically optimized for foldable multitasking.
Departing from the Face ID standard found on recent flagship models, the iPhone Duo utilizes a side-mounted Touch ID sensor integrated into the power button. This allows for biometric authentication regardless of whether the device is folded or fully extended.
Pricing for the iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 for the base 256GB model. Apple is offering the device in two primary finishes, Star White and Night Sky, across several storage tiers:
- 256GB: $1,999
- 512GB: $2,299
- 1TB: $2,699
- 2TB: $3,199
