Apple launches iPhone Duo foldable in India at ₹2,99,900
Apple has announced the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, with India pricing starting at ₹2,99,900 and pre-orders beginning October 16 ahead of an October 23 release. The device features a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch foldable inner screen. The Duo includes a titanium frame, dual batteries, and features like Duo Preview for photo framing, Smart Take for automatic group shots, and Kid Cue for capturing children's attention. It is positioned as a premium alternative to the iPhone 18 Pro, which starts at ₹1,64,900 and launches September 18. Apple is entering a market where Samsung and Chinese manufacturers have sold folding phones for years, aiming to make the form feel natural rather than experimental. The fold allows hands-free use, side-by-side multitasking, and a screen that can be shared with others.
