Apple iPhone Duo foldable with India price starting at ₹2,99,900 and pre-orders on October 16

Apple’s first foldable, the iPhone Duo, opens for pre-order in India on October 16, 2026, at 5:30 PM IST. Sales start on October 23. The 256 GB model is ₹2,99,900. The 512 GB is ₹3,24,900, the 1 TB is ₹3,74,900, and the 2 TB is ₹4,49,900.

That makes the top model the most expensive iPhone Apple has sold in India. Colours are Star White and Night Sky. A hands-on review video from an Indian buyer is not out yet. The specs below are from Apple’s launch, not from a week of daily use.

Specs, features, and what a review still cannot say

Shut, it is a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR phone. Open, the inner screen is 7.6 inches. Both run at up to 120 Hz. Open thickness is 5.2 mm, which Apple calls its thinnest iPhone.

The chip is the A20 Pro. Apple says sustained performance is up to 35 percent better than the iPhone 17 Pro, the CPU is up to 20 percent faster than the A19 Pro, and the GPU is up to 40 percent faster.

Price: ₹2,99,900 to ₹4,49,900
Displays: 5.4-inch outer, 7.6-inch inner, 120 Hz
Chip: A20 Pro, dual batteries
Video playback: up to 31 hours on the inner screen, 44 hours on the outer
Pre-order: October 16, 5:30 pm IST. In stores: October 23

Apple says a battery sits on each side and the two act as one. Typical mixed use is listed at 24 hours. The camera line in launch coverage is a 48 MP Dual Fusion system.

Apple avoided foldables for years.
Then dropped the iPhone Duo yesterday.
The shit people are doing with it is insane.

Apple’s announcement is here. The product film is on apple.com/iphone-duo.

The newsroom post confirms the October 16 pre-order, the October 23 sale, Star White and Night Sky, and a US starting price of $1,999. It does not print the India rupee table. Keep the ₹2,99,900 line attributed to Apple’s India price, not to that US post.

A full camera review, a crease test, and a battery drain video have to wait until units ship on October 23.
