Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports the 256GB iPhone Duo in white or dark blue will ship as soon as October.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple’s first foldable phone will be named the iPhone Duo. The model with 256GB of storage will start at $2,000 and come in white or dark blue. Shipping will begin as soon as October.
Earlier rumors referred to Apple’s foldable as the iPhone Ultra. Microsoft applied the Duo name to its Surface Duo and Surface Duo 2, and Google used the same name for a messaging service. Apple’s launch event is the first since John Ternus became chief executive officer.
Rumors say Apple’s foldable will run side-by-side iPhone apps and handle iPad-like multitasking. Developers will need to account for Apple Pencil support and the new display format. The $2,000 price places the phone above the $1,899 Pixel 11 Pro Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 8, but below the $2,099.99 Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.
Apple will provide official details at its launch event at 1PM ET and 10AM PT. The company will confirm the iPhone Duo’s price, storage options, colors, and release timing. The announcement will give developers and operators the facts needed to support the device.
