iPhone Duo vs iPhone 18 Pro Max plus iPad mini: Which is the better buy in India?
Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, launched in India at ₹2,99,900, while a combination of the iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPad mini costs ₹2,49,800, saving buyers ₹50,100. The iPhone 18 Pro Max (₹1,79,900) offers a 6.9-inch display and flagship camera, while the iPad mini (₹69,900) provides an 8.3-inch screen, A17 Pro chip, and Apple Pencil support. The Duo features a 7.6-inch folding display and dual 48MP cameras but lacks the Pro Max's dedicated telephoto hardware. The Duo's key advantage is portability as a single device, while the two-device setup allows simultaneous use and independent operation. The iPad mini's cellular version raises the combined price to ₹2,67,800, still ₹32,100 cheaper than the Duo.
