Apple iPhone Duo pre orders information

  • Pre-orders go live on Friday, October 16 at 10pm AEST
  • Devices available in stores from Friday, October 23
  • Pricing starts at $3,499 for 256GB model, maxing out at $5,899 for the 2TB

If you’re keen to get your hands on the foldable iPhone Duo, pre-orders start a bit later, opening at 10pm AEST on Friday, October 16, with the device officially hitting stores a week later on Friday, October 23.

As pre-orders for the iPhone Duo don’t start for another month, we don’t yet have details on the specific offers that will be available. Once pre-orders go live, we’ll round up the top options to help you find the deal that best suits your needs.

Unlike the 18 Pro devices, the Duo is only available in two colours – Night Sky and Star White and it features a massive 7.6 inch display when unfolded, which is 50% larger than the iPhone 18 Pro Max, making it well-suited to multitasking, streaming and gaming.

Also, it’s worth noting that the iPhone Duo is eSIM only, so if you’re still using a physical SIM you’ll need to switch to an eSIM. If you’re planning to switch providers when you pick up a Duo, we’ve collated our favourites in our guide to the best eSIM plans in Australia.
