Apple\u2019s first foldable iPhone is only a week away. Like Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Z Fold 8<\/a>, the iPhone Duo<\/a> opens like a book, bridging the gap between a standard phone and a tablet with a 5.4-inch outer screen and a large foldable 7.6-inch inner display.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following its debut at Apple\u2019s September event, iPhone Duo preorders<\/a> went live Friday, giving shoppers their first chance to reserve the company\u2019s highly anticipated foldable phone. It sold out almost immediately<\/a> on Apple\u2019s site, but it is available from other retailers and carriers.<\/p>\n

Starting at $1,999, the Duo is Apple\u2019s most expensive iPhone yet<\/a>, but history suggests few buyers will actually pay full price. While official promotions remain limited ahead of launch, CNET\u2019s shopping experts are already tracking where the best carrier trade-in offers, retailer incentives and preorder bonuses are likely to appear. We\u2019ll continue updating this guide as new deals go live. <\/p>\n

When will the iPhone Duo be released? <\/p>\n

The iPhone Duo is available for preorder today. It will hit shelves next Friday, Oct. 23.<\/p>\n

How much does the iPhone Duo cost?<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s first foldable phone has a pretty hefty price tag. The base model starts at $1,999 with 256GB of storage. If you need more space for all your apps, movies and multitasking, Apple also offers higher storage tiers, with the maxed-out 2TB model costing up to $3,199.<\/p>\n

What colors does iPhone Duo come in?<\/p>\n

The iPhone Duo comes in two colors: star white and night sky black.<\/p>\n

Should I get the iPhone Duo or the iPhone 18 Pro?<\/p>\n

This is subjective, but you should consider whether you want the convenience of an iPhone-iPad hybrid or prefer a focus on portability. If you choose the iPhone Duo, you get a massive 7.6-inch inner display that acts like a mini tablet, an outer cover screen that hits 3,000-nit peak brightness, and special split-screen multitasking tools. However, you will lose some advanced camera features, like the iPhone 18 Pro\u2019s new variable aperture system, and you will have to deal with a thicker, heavier phone that costs much more than the regular Pro\u2019s $1,199 starting price.<\/p>\n

Where can I order the iPhone Duo?<\/p>\n

The iPhone Duo is available to preorder from Apple and all big US carriers and retailers. This includes your favorites like T-Mobile, Best Buy, AT&T and more. But we\u2019ll find every preorder deal available to help bring the price down as they drop, including carrier promotions, trade-in offers and retailer bonuses. We\u2019ll keep this page updated as more deals come in.<\/p>\n
