Duo is Apple’s confirmed name for its titanium folding iPhone, with a 7.6-inch inner display and 5.4-inch outer display. All three offer 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB storage. Our lineup comparison covers the practical differences.
What about other countries and future models?
Apple’s Pro announcement lists the US among more than 65 countries and regions in the September 18 release, with 20 additional countries and regions following September 25. Check your local Apple store for exact prices, taxes and delivery. Do not infer a standard iPhone 18, Air successor or another model’s date from this announcement.
When will Plug have these iPhones?
They are not yet available at Plug. We have no confirmed Plug stocking date to announce. A model may appear in our comparison experience for research before it has inventory, a purchase price or an order button. Use the available iPhone catalog for devices you can currently shop.
Compare prices fairly
Match storage, region and payment method. Separate full retail prices from carrier credits, leasing, financing and trade-in estimates. A Certified Pre-Owned comparison should also account for cosmetic condition, battery information, warranty and return terms. Do not calculate a personal saving from a starting price if you would buy a different configuration.
Buy now or wait?
If your current phone works and a new capability matters to you, compare the confirmed specifications and independent reviews before deciding. If you need a replacement now, start with available models and a fixed budget. Our upgrade buying guide explains the trade-offs.
Frequently asked questions
Is a preorder date a delivery guarantee?
No. Preorders begin before release, and an individual order’s estimated delivery depends on its configuration, destination and supply.
Are the new iPhones available from Plug on Apple’s release date?
No Plug availability date has been confirmed. Check our catalog rather than assuming Apple and Plug will have the same inventory schedule.
