GoKawiilApple's foldable iPhone tipped to launch as 'iPhone Duo' starting at $2,000
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone may be named the iPhone Duo rather than 'Fold' or 'Ultra,' pricing it from $2,000 for 256GB up to nearly $3,000 for 2TB. The device is expected to feature an A20 Pro chip, C2 modem, dual 48MP rear cameras, a 12MP front camera, Apple Pencil support, and a landscape-folding design, launching in October in dark blue and white.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
A sub-$2,500 starting price suggests Apple is prioritizing adoption over margins to establish foldables as a mainstream category, directly challenging Samsung's dominance in the segment. The modest $100 price bump for the iPhone 18 Pro line also signals Apple's caution about consumer price sensitivity amid a costly new product rollout.
- Foldable iPhone may be called 'Duo,' priced from $2,000 to nearly $3,000.
- Apple reportedly cut margins to keep pricing below earlier $2,500 predictions.
- iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max get only a $100 price increase, less than expected.
Apple Pencil Pro — The foldable iPhone "Duo" is rumored to support Apple Pencil input, and the Pencil Pro is Apple's most capable stylus with squeeze gestures, barrel roll and haptic feedback. It's a natural companion for sketching and note-taking on a big folding display, and it already works beautifully with compatible iPads today.
