Apple's First Folding iPhone Duo Enters Pre-Order at $2,000
Apple has begun accepting pre-orders for its first folding iPhone, the iPhone Duo, at a starting price of $2,000. The company took the unusual step of taking the Apple Store offline ahead of the launch, a routine practice before major product releases to prepare systems for high traffic.
The iPhone Duo represents Apple's entry into the foldable smartphone market, a segment that has grown in recent years with devices from Samsung, Google, and other manufacturers. The timing of this launch positions Apple to capture demand from consumers interested in larger-screen experiences that fold into more compact form factors.
Pre-orders are available through Apple's website, with deliveries expected to begin shortly after the official launch date.
