Apple rolls out first foldable iPhone Duo as limited stock hits stores worldwide
Apple introduced the iPhone Duo, a foldable smartphone priced at $1,999, featuring a 5.4‑inch outer display and a 7.6‑inch inner screen with a titanium frame and dual 48‑MP rear cameras plus an under‑display front camera. The device launched at an Apple store on Andrássy Avenue in Budapest and will be available for pickup at select locations on launch day, though only limited quantities are slated for immediate in‑store sale.
Pre‑orders opened earlier this week, and Apple has set a maximum of two units per customer across its online stores. The Duo runs on the A20 Pro chip and uses a side‑button Touch ID sensor that works whether the phone is open or closed.
