Apple has entered a new price segment with the iPhone Duo. In India, the phone starts at ₹2,99,900 for the 256GB version and goes up to ₹4,49,900 for the 2TB model. This makes it the most expensive iPhone in Apple’s current lineup.
The large difference between the models is mainly due to storage. Apple offers four storage configurations, giving buyers the option to choose between 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB.

Apple is also offering purchase benefits in India. Depending on the device being exchanged, trade-in credit can range from ₹4,500 to ₹81,500. Eligible customers can also get six-month no-cost EMI on supported payment options.
Selected bank cards from providers such as ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and American Express may also offer cashback of up to ₹7,000, subject to the applicable terms.
iPhone Duo Accessories
Apple has introduced two official accessories for the iPhone Duo.
The Duo Folio is priced at ₹14,900 and comes with an integrated kickstand. There is also a separate two-piece modular case priced at ₹8,900.
Both accessories support MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging.
iPhone Duo Price in Other Countries
The price of the iPhone Duo differs considerably between countries. The 256GB model starts at $1,999 in the US and £1,999 in the UK.
Here is a comparison of the starting and highest-storage prices mentioned for different markets:
| Market | 256GB Price | 2TB Price | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| India | ₹2,99,900 | ₹4,49,900 | 50% |
| Japan | ¥364,800 | ¥574,800 | 58% |
| US | $1,999 | $3,199 | 60% |
| UK | £1,999 | £3,199 | 60% |
| UAE | AED 8,499 | AED 13,599 | 60% |
| Germany | €2,299 | €3,799 | 65% |
| Australia | A$3,499 | A$5,899 | 69% |
| Canada | C$2,999 | C$4,799 | 60% |
| Singapore | S$3,099 | S$4,899 | 58% |
| France | €2,339 | €3,839 | 64% |
India has the lowest percentage increase between the entry-level and 2TB versions in this comparison, while Australia has the highest.
Apple has also kept the storage upgrade pattern relatively consistent. In India, moving from 256GB to 512GB costs an additional ₹25,000. The jump to 1TB adds another ₹50,000, while the 2TB version requires ₹75,000 more.
For buyers who do not need extremely large storage, the 512GB version could therefore be a more balanced option.
iPhone Duo Display and Design
The iPhone Duo uses a foldable design with two display sizes.
When closed, the outer display measures 5.4 inches. Opening the device provides access to a larger 7.6-inch inner screen.
Both displays support Apple’s ProMotion technology and Always-On functionality. Peak brightness is rated at up to 3,000 nits.
The inner display also features a nano-texture layer designed to reduce reflections. The phone’s construction uses Grade 5 titanium, while the outer display gets Ceramic Shield 2 protection.
The device has an IP68 rating, providing protection against dust and water under the specified testing conditions.
Processor and Camera Features
The iPhone Duo is powered by Apple’s A20 Pro chip. The processor features a six-core CPU and a seven-core GPU, with Apple highlighting improvements in both general performance and graphics processing.
The device also includes dual 16-core Neural Engines for machine-learning and AI-related workloads.
On the back, there are two 48-megapixel Fusion cameras. The primary camera supports sensor-shift optical image stabilization and offers 2x optical-quality zoom.
The ultra-wide camera also uses a 48MP sensor.
For selfies and video calls, the phone has a 12MP Center Stage camera. The internal FaceTime camera is positioned beneath the display.
Video recording supports up to 4K at 120fps, along with Dolby Vision on supported recording modes. Photographic Styles 3 provides additional options for adjusting the look of photos.
Battery and Charging
The iPhone Duo uses battery cells located in both sections of the foldable body. They work together as a single battery system.
Apple rates the device for up to 31 hours of video playback on the inner display and up to 44 hours using the outer display, depending on the test conditions.
The phone supports fast wired charging, with Apple stating that it can reach around 50% charge in approximately 20 minutes under suitable conditions. MagSafe charging can reach around 50% in roughly 30 minutes.
Actual battery life can vary depending on network conditions, display usage, apps and other factors.
Security and Connectivity
Unlike recent iPhones that rely on Face ID, the iPhone Duo uses Touch ID. The fingerprint sensor is integrated into the side button.
The phone uses eSIM connectivity and does not include support for a traditional physical SIM card.
For wireless and cellular connectivity, the device includes Apple’s C2 modem and N1 connectivity chip. Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread support are also included.
Software and Other Features
The iPhone Duo runs iOS 27, which includes features designed for the foldable form factor.
Features such as Split View and StandBy are available to take advantage of the larger display. Some AI-related Siri features are listed as being available through beta software.
Apple has also announced Apple Pencil support for the device, with availability expected later in the year.
The iPhone Duo is available in two finishes: Star White and Night Sky.
EMI and Financing Options
Financing availability varies by country and payment provider.
The listed monthly financing figures start at approximately $83.29 per month in the US, £66.63 per month in the UK, and ₹48,817 per month in India.
The actual monthly payment can change depending on the financing plan, eligibility, tenure and applicable terms.
Launch Details
Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo are scheduled to begin on Friday, October 16, across the listed launch markets. Official sales and shipping are scheduled to start on October 23, with availability planned across 70 countries.
iPhone Duo Price Compared With Earlier iPhones
The iPhone Duo represents a major jump over Apple’s earlier premium iPhone pricing in India.
For comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro Max started at ₹1,59,900, with its 1TB version priced at ₹1,99,900. The 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max was priced at ₹1,84,900, while the 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max reached ₹2,29,900.
With the 2TB iPhone Duo priced at ₹4,49,900, Apple has moved well beyond the previous price range of its flagship iPhones.

Final Verdict
The iPhone Duo is positioned as an ultra-premium foldable iPhone, and its pricing reflects that. The 256GB model starts at ₹2,99,900, while buyers who want the maximum 2TB storage will have to spend ₹4,49,900.
The 512GB version may make more sense for buyers who want additional storage without moving too far up the price ladder. On the other hand, the 1TB and 2TB variants are aimed at users who specifically need very large local storage.
Beyond the price, the main attractions are the foldable displays, titanium construction, ProMotion screens, dual 48MP cameras, high-end processor and iOS features designed around the larger display.
