Apple has unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone, with pricing that stretches from $1,999 all the way to $3,199 depending on storage. The record-setting $3,199 price applies specifically to the 2TB configuration, making it the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever sold.
The pricing ladder starts at $1,999 for 256GB, followed by $2,199 for 512GB, $2,599 for 1TB, and $3,199 for 2TB. That means buyers choosing the maximum storage capacity are paying an additional $1,200 over the entry-level Duo.
The iPhone Duo itself represents one of Apple’s biggest smartphone design changes in years. It uses a book-style folding design with a 5.4-inch outer OLED display for normal phone use and a much larger 7.6-inch folding OLED display when opened. Both screens support ProMotion with refresh rates up to 120Hz, Always-On functionality, HDR, and up to 3,000 nits of outdoor peak brightness.
Inside, Apple is using its A20 Pro chip along with the new C2 cellular modem. The larger internal screen is designed around multitasking, allowing the Duo to operate more like a compact iPad when unfolded. Apple has also added Apple Pencil support, expanding the device beyond traditional smartphone use into productivity and creative workflows.
The hardware also reflects the Duo’s premium positioning. Apple uses a titanium foldable design, Ceramic Shield protection, and a specially engineered hinge, while the internal display uses a nano-texture finish intended to reduce the visibility of the fold. The Duo weighs 254 grams and measures just 5.2mm thick when fully opened.
Camera hardware includes dual 48MP rear cameras, while Apple has redesigned parts of the interface and photography experience specifically for the foldable form factor. Unlike recent flagship iPhones, the Duo uses Touch ID integrated into the side button rather than Face ID.
The $3,199 price therefore represents more than simply Apple’s first foldable design. It combines the Duo’s new dual-screen hardware with the maximum 2TB of internal storage, positioning that configuration as a specialized ultra-premium option rather than the version most buyers are expected to choose.
The more important comparison may be the $1,999 starting price. Even at its base configuration, the iPhone Duo sits well above Apple’s conventional Pro models and firmly targets buyers willing to pay a premium for a foldable phone that can double as a small tablet.
Whether consumers see enough value in that combination remains the biggest question. But with the Duo, Apple has clearly established a new pricing tier above the traditional iPhone Pro lineup.
