Apple launched its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, at its ‘Surprise and Shine’ event in September, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, new AirPods and Apple Watch models. While the other devices have already gone on sale, the company’s first foldable iPhone has remained unavailable for purchase. That changes today, as Apple opens pre-orders for the iPhone Duo in India and several global markets. The handset brings a foldable design, two displays, and the latest A20 Pro chipset to Apple’s flagship lineup, with multiple storage options and launch offers for buyers.
