Apple is officially set to unveil its first foldable iPhone in a few hours. On the eve of the event, Mark Gurman at Bloomberg has reported some last-minute details, including a spoiler for the foldable iPhone’s actual name: iPhone Duo.
Apple’s first foldable iPhone is also Apple’s first with an inner and outer display. iPhone Duo, the one with two screens.
Gurman also reports that the price will cost as much as two iPhones: $1999. However, that’s considerably less than some analysts have predicted.
He reports that Apple is eating some of the cost of recent memory component price increases to keep the iPhone Duo at a competitive price.
Another iPhone Duo? Duo color options: white and dark blue.
Kept saying this here for a while. Ultra’s just a poor branding choice for them. Seems it’s USD 1,999 base & likely topping out at USD 2,499.
Gurman also reports that the foldable iPhone Duo will “go on sale as early as October” without naming a release date. That’s potentially a few weeks later than the iPhone 18 Pro ship date, which is still expected for this month.
Apple Pencil support for iPhone Duo is also now anticipated after previously being considered but not expected.
Anyway, the event kicks off at 10 am PT … that’s about 12 hours from now. More to come throughout the day.
