Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, is now available to preorder, though launch-day delivery dates are expected to slip quickly. The Apple Store is back online, with preorders officially open. Apple is once again using a queue system, and the order page will open once a buyer reaches their spot in the queue.
As it has done before, Apple opened a preorder configuration option ahead of the launch. It lets buyers choose their preferred configuration and payment method in advance, which helps speed up checkout once preorders go live.
Preorders began at 5:00 a.m. Pacific, or 8:00 a.m. Eastern. Store access may vary as Apple's global content delivery system spins up in data centers around the world and the Apple Store app comes back online. Some buyers may see the store before others, depending on how and where they access it. If the store does not appear, try switching between the website and the Apple Store app.
Delivery dates will begin slipping as preorder demand builds, and popular configurations can quickly move beyond launch-day delivery. The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 with 256GB of storage, while a maxed-out model with 2TB of storage costs $3,199 before any trade-in or carrier deals.
