Apple’s first foldable iPhone starts at $1,999

The iPhone Duo features a 5.4-inch outer display that opens into a larger 7.6-inch screen, giving users a tablet-like experience in a foldable design.

Its inner display features a matte nano-texture finish designed to reduce glare and make the center crease less noticeable.

The camera system includes a 48-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide, and separate front-facing cameras for the outer and inner displays.

Pricing starts at $1,999 for 256GB of storage. If you’re purchasing through Apple’s Veterans and Military store, you won’t have access to Get Ready, so you’ll need to complete checkout when pre-orders officially open on October 16.
