The iPhone Duo is expected to start at $2,000 for the 256GB model, with higher storage options increasing the price. The 2TB version could potentially reach nearly $3,000. Apple initially aimed for a price below $2,000, but AI-driven memory shortages and supply chain constraints pushed the final cost higher.
The foldable device will support Apple Pencil, contradicting previous rumors of its removal. It will be available in two color options: white and deep blue.
The iPhone Duo will be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, AirPods 5, Apple Watch Series 12, and Apple Watch Ultra 4. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to feature a variable aperture, while the base storage versions of the two standard sizes will see a price increase of $100.
The Apple Watch updates are expected to be incremental, focusing on a redesigned Apple Health app without new sensors. AirPods 5 will emphasize stronger active noise cancellation and maintain a dual-version strategy similar to AirPods 4. No new Apple TV 4K or Home Hub hardware is expected.
