Open Up to New Possibilities: iPhone Duo Pre-Orders Begin October 16 in the Philippines
Apple’s First Foldable iPhone Debuts Locally
Apple has officially set the stage for its most ambitious mobile release yet, with pre-orders for the brand-new iPhone Duo opening in the Philippines on Friday, October 16, at 8:00 PM PHT via apple.com/ph and the Apple Store app.
As Apple’s first-ever foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo combines an expansive inner canvas with a pocketable outer form factor, driven by pro-tier performance and reimagined software.
Key Design & Hardware Highlights
Foldable Form Factor: When unfolded, it serves as Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever with an inner display that is 50 percent larger than the screen on the iPhone 18 Pro Max. When closed, its 5.4-inch outer display delivers 90 percent of the screen area of an iPhone 18 Pro.
A20 Pro Performance: Powered by the advanced A20 Pro chip, paired with an innovative dual-battery architecture designed to ensure robust all-day battery life.
Advanced Camera System: Equipped with a 48MP Fusion Main camera, an integrated optical-quality 2x Telephoto lens, a 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera for macro shots, a Center Stage front camera, and an under-display FaceTime camera.
Durability & Colors: Built with an IP68 splash-, water-, and dust-resistance rating, available in two refined finishes: Star White and Night Sky.
Software & Multitasking Capabilities
Running on a reimagined version of iOS 27, the iPhone Duo adapts fluidly to user interactions. Content dynamically reorients as the device folds, turns sideways, or flips.
Additionally, StandBy mode can be activated on either the inner or outer display—even when disconnected from a charger—transforming the device into an interactive photo frame, widget hub, or bedside clock.
Companion Accessories & Protection
To complement the new foldable device, Apple is introducing custom accessories:
iPhone Duo Folio (Navy Blue & Taupe): Features an integrated, adjustable kickstand for viewing, reading, and hands-free FaceTime calls.
iPhone Duo Case (Sand & Navy Blue): A thin, lightweight, two-part protective case supporting MagSafe, Qi2 25W, and Qi-certified wireless charging.
AppleCare Coverage: Comprehensive protection options including AppleCare+, AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss, and AppleCare One Individual where available.
