Apple has launched the iPhone Duo, marking a significant shift in its product lineup with a design that emphasizes thinness and expandable display capabilities. The device is described as the thinnest iPhone ever, featuring an inner display that is 50 percent larger than the display on the iPhone 18 Pro Max. This design allows for a larger canvas for viewing content, gaming, and multitasking when the device is open, while the 5.4-inch outer display provides 90 percent of the screen area of the iPhone 18 Pro in a compact, pocketable form.
The iPhone Duo also includes a dual-battery architecture, which is expected to provide impressive all-day battery life. Additionally, the device is splash-, water-, and dust-resistant with an IP68 rating, making it suitable for a wide range of environments and use cases. These technical specifications highlight Apple's focus on both performance and durability in its latest offering.
Apple has introduced flexible payment options for customers looking to upgrade to the iPhone Duo. Customers can choose from 12- and 24-month leasing options, with prices starting as low as $57.99, excluding taxes and any trade-in value. Those trading in an eligible iPhone 13 or higher can receive an instant credit ranging from $175 to $885, which can help reduce the overall cost of the new device.
Customers who are interested in pre-ordering the iPhone Duo can do so starting on Friday, October 16, at 5 a.m. PT. Pre-orders can be placed on apple.com and through the Apple Store app. Those who configure their device, choose accessories, secure leasing or financing pre-approval, and arrange their trade-in ahead of the availability day can check out with a single click once pre-orders go live.
