Apple has opened reservation preparation for the foldable iPhone Duo on its online store ahead of preorders opening Friday at 9 PM and release on Friday the 23rd. The device starts from 364,800 yen in Japan.
Apple announced the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, at a September 9 event. The device has a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display, a titanium frame, a hinge made of more than 100 parts, and an A20 Pro chip. It weighs 254g, heavier than the Huawei Pura X Max at 229g and the Galaxy Z Fold8 at 201g. Japanese pricing starts at 364,800 yen for the 256GB model, rising to 574,800 yen for 2TB. Preorders open October 16 at 9:00 PM, with release on October 23, and the body comes in Star White and Night Sky.
The next day, Apple raised prices on the iPhone 16, 17, 17e and Air, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone Duo announcements, by 12,000 to 48,000 yen per model and capacity. The increase came after a July domestic rise, bringing cumulative increases to 25,000 to 30,000 yen and 65,000 yen on the 1TB iPhone Air. The same revision was applied in the United States.

Apple announced the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, at a September 9 event. The device has a 5.4-inch outer display when closed and a 7.6-inch inner display when opened. Japanese pricing starts at 364,800 yen for the 256GB model, with 512GB at 399,800 yen, 1TB at 468,800 yen, and 2TB at 574,800 yen. Pre-orders open October 16 at 9:00 PM, and the release date is October 23. The body comes in Star White and Night Sky. Apple says the opened display is the largest in iPhone history. The frame is titanium, and a hinge made of more than 100 parts handles the fold. The inner display uses a matte finish that reduces reflections and makes the crease less noticeable, and the front camera sits under the screen. The SoC is the A20 Pro chip. The iPhone Duo weighs 254g, heavier than the Huawei Pura X Max at 229g and the Galaxy Z Fold8 at 201g.
