Pre-orders for Apple's first foldable device, the iPhone Duo, began earlier today, according to Android Authority. The phone is expected to become generally available on October 23, although shipping estimates for the device have already moved into early 2027.
Verizon has introduced a range of pre-order promotions for both consumer and business customers. According to Android Authority, customers switching to Verizon can receive an Apple Watch or iPad with their iPhone Duo without a trade-in, or combine the foldable with a service plan for $72 per month. The carrier is also offering up to $1,000 off the device with an eligible trade-in, while business customers can save up to $1,200.
