iPhone Duo preorders are live: Buying tips and FAQs
Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, has launched for preorder with a starting price of $1,999. The device features high-end specifications, including the A20 Pro chip, but is already facing significant supply constraints.
Why it matters
The release marks Apple's entry into the foldable market, a segment previously dominated by competitors, signaling a shift in their hardware strategy.
It's almost iPhone Duo day, folks. Announced in September after years of rumors, Apple's first-ever foldable phone is now available for preorder ahead of its Oct. 23 release (though you probably won't get it that soon).The iPhone Duo features a passport-style design with a nano-texture inner display, a hidden selfie camera, a blazing-fast A20 Pro chip, and a hinge with a flexible graphite pipe inside - its secret to effective cooling. Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder got to spend a little time with the Duo at Apple Park last month and said it "works amazingly well."If you have any questions before preordering the iPhone Duo, we're got all the answers.
