Apple’s First Foldable Phone, the iPhone Duo, Goes on Sale October 23
Apple is preparing to launch its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, on October 23. The company will provide stores with numerous demo devices so customers can easily try the phone both unfolded and folded. Preorders are expected to begin on October 16. The device may be hard to find during the first few days.
Apple plans to allocate hundreds of demo devices to its largest stores. The Fifth Avenue store in New York will have more than 150 demo devices. About 100 demo units will be placed at the Apple Park Visitor Center near the company’s headquarters. The Michigan Avenue store in Chicago, The Grove in Los Angeles and the Upper West Side store in Manhattan will each receive 30-40 devices. Even smaller Apple Store locations will display about 20 iPhone Duo devices. Although the phone will be sold in only 2 colors, there will be more demo devices than at regular launches. This will allow more visitors to try the foldable display, open and close the phone, and test everyday use at the same time. Apple has also developed a new MagSafe stand that holds an unfolded iPhone Duo and 2 standard iPhone models at the same time. The standard models are expected to be the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Some demo devices will be placed around the outer areas of stores without security cables. This will allow visitors to try StandBy mode and other features more freely. Selected Apple Store locations will also feature a separate display showing the phone being continuously opened and closed. The goal is to draw visitors’ attention to the iPhone Duo as soon as they enter the store. The foldable phone will become the main product on display in stores after October 23. However, it may be difficult to find during the initial stage of sales.
