Apple's iPhone Duo foldable smartphone opens for pre-orders in India

Apple's highly anticipated entry into the foldable smartphone segment has begun accepting pre-orders across India following the unveiling of the iPhone Duo at the company's 'Surprise and Shine' event last month. The device marks Apple's first venture into the growing category of foldable devices.

The iPhone Duo was presented alongside other flagship products including the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models, as well as new iterations of AirPods and Apple Watch devices. The simultaneous launch of multiple product categories underscored Apple's strategy to refresh its product lineup during the promotional period.

Prospective buyers in India have access to pre-order options with associated pricing and promotional offers applicable for the initial purchase window. The launch represents a significant moment for Apple as it addresses growing consumer interest in foldable technology across the Indian smartphone market.

The company's move into the foldable segment follows similar initiatives by competitors who have already established presence in this emerging device category. Industry observers are monitoring uptake of the iPhone Duo in India, a key market for smartphone sales and consumer electronics adoption in South Asia.
