iPhone Duo pre-orders don’t begin until October 16 at 8:00 a.m. ET — but that doesn’t mean you can’t look for deals and discounts now. Apple’s first foldable device was announced during the company’s “Surprise and Shine” event and will be available on October 23.
The new 5.4-inch phone and tablet in one device opens up to a huge 7.6-inch nano-texture display starts at $1,999, making it Apple’s most expensive phone to date. That’s a tough pill to swallow in today’s economy, but I’m here to help you find the best iPhone Duo pre-order deals well before the release date.
iPhone Duo pre-order deals have yet to start, but the Apple Store is already offering $35 to $885 in trade-in credit. For example, an iPhone 8 Plus will get you a $35 credit, while an iPhone 17 Pro Max will get you a maximum of $885 in credit. I expect to see many more iPhone Duo pre-order deals in the coming weeks as carriers release their own offers.
Below, I’ve listed the best early deals on Apple’s iPhone Duo from top carriers and retailers.
What you need to know
Current iPhone 18 Pro Max orders are seeing delays, with deliveries showing October 14th to October 21st. Considering the strong interest in the iPhone Duo, we expect much longer delivery times with this model – so placing a pre-order as soon as possible is critical if you want to get it with the least amount of waiting.
So far, Apple has put a lot of effort into selling the iPhone Duo. While we expect other MVNOs to sell Apple’s first foldable phone, it may be a long time before it happens. At the same time, we suspect that unlocked versions of the duo may be in short supply due to demand.
