Apple's First Foldable iPhone Hits Stores at $1,999 Amid Supply Constraints
What Happened
Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, went on sale on October 23, 2026, across more than 70 markets, including India. Priced from $1,999 in the US and ₹2,99,900 in India, it features a 7.6-inch inner display. Reuters reported strong pre-order interest but limited launch-day availability, with some delivery estimates extending into January
Key Takeaways
Apple's entry adds a major competitor to the foldable smartphone market. IDC forecasts significant market share for the Duo, but sustained demand and customer adoption remain unproven.
