The iPhone Duo officially launched this Friday, with Apple warning of limited in-store inventory and long online waiting times as production scales up. Pricing starts at $2,000 for the 256GB base model and reaches $3,200 for the 2TB version. The base iPhone 18 Pro Max is $700 cheaper, while the smaller iPhone 18 Pro is $100 less.
In the US foldable market, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 undercuts the iPhone with a $200 discount, measuring thinner at 9.7mm and lighter at 201g, though both share similar 7.6-inch inner displays and nearly identical 4,800mAh and 4,883mAh batteries. The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra offers a larger 6.5-inch cover display and a 200MP main camera with telephoto lens, remaining thinner and lighter than the Duo at 8.9mm and 215g. Last year's Galaxy Z Fold7 is discounted to $1,300 at Walmart, while the Motorola Razr Fold features a larger 6,000mAh battery with 80W charging.
Samsung also discounted the Galaxy Tab S12+ and Tab S12 Ultra by $100 via code PYPL100, though commenters note the new MacBook Air 13" is cheaper unless trading in for the Galaxy slate. The new MacBook Air runs on the Apple M5 chip, with the base 16/512GB model priced at $1,300 after a recent hike.
