Apple began selling its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, in India on October 23, 2026. The device features a 5.4-inch outer display that unfolds into a 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR inner screen and is powered by the A20 Pro chip running iOS 27.

Availability and Pricing

Four storage options are offered: 256GB at ₹2,99,900, 512GB at ₹3,24,900, 1TB at ₹3,74,900, and 2TB at ₹4,49,900. Colors include Star White and Night Sky. Pre-orders opened on October 16, with roughly 6,000 units expected in the first week according to reports.

Buyers can order through the Apple Online Store, Apple Store app, or in person at Apple’s six Indian retail locations in Delhi, Noida, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Pune. The device is also sold through partners including Lotus Electronics, Reliance Digital, Croma, and Vijay Sales. Quick-commerce platform Instamart made it available in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru, where initial stock reportedly sold out within five minutes in the Delhi-NCR region.

Launch Offers

Instant cashback up to ₹7,000 on eligible American Express, Axis Bank, and ICICI Bank cards
No-cost EMI options for up to 12 months
Apple Trade In credit up to ₹81,500 depending on the exchanged device

Key Features and Practical Use

The foldable design supports Split View multitasking and StandBy mode, which can display clock or information when the device is resting. Camera setup includes dual 48MP Fusion sensors (main and ultra-wide), a 12MP Centre Stage front camera, and an under-display FaceTime camera. Video recording reaches 4K at 120 frames per second.

For Indian buyers, the launch brings a new form factor option in the premium segment, though limited initial supply means early purchasers may face delays or need to monitor stock closely. The pricing positions it as a high-end device, with the base model exceeding many current flagship prices.

Readers considering the iPhone Duo should verify current stock at their preferred retailer and compare trade-in values before committing, as availability remains constrained in the opening week.
