Apple's foldable iPhone Duo goes on sale to short supply and long waits

Starting price

1,999 US$, 256 GB model

A 256-gigabyte model costs US$1,999, and the 2-terabyte version reaches US$3,199.

New online orders now ship at the end of January, and Apple capped pre-orders at two phones per customer.

Praised

Design, hinge

Criticized

Camera, apps, price

Early reviews praise the design and a barely visible hinge, but flag camera compromises. Some prominent reviewers advise most buyers against it.

What's next

Market researcher IDC expects Apple to take 44 per cent of foldable market value in 2026 on 31 per cent of units.
