Apple's iPhone 18 Pro event has concluded, but the highly anticipated iPhone Duo won't be available for pre-order until October. While many hoped the folding iPhone would launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, Apple has confirmed a later release. Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo begin at 8 AM ET on Friday, October 16, with availability starting on Friday, October 23.

This staggered rollout mirrors the pattern seen with the iPhone X, which also had a delayed release after its announcement. The iPhone Duo is priced at a wallet-punishing $1999, making it a significant investment for early adopters. If you're eager to get your hands on this innovative device, mark your calendars and prepare for the October pre-order window.
