Mark
So what actually happens today at 5:30 pm?
Mimi
Pre-orders open for the iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable, on apple.com/in and the Apple Store app. Sales begin October 23.
Mark
And the price?
Mimi
Rs 2,99,900 for 256GB, rising to Rs 4,49,900 for the 2TB model.
Mark
That's a big spread. Do the offers close it?
Mimi
Somewhat. Up to Rs 7,000 on certain American Express, Axis and ICICI cards, and trade-in credit of up to Rs 81,500.
Luke
Those are ceilings, not typical outcomes. The trade-in figure depends on the old phone's model and condition, and the card discount depends on the card and model. Nothing here says what an average buyer will get.
Mark
What about the hardware claims?
Mimi
A 7.6-inch inner screen, a 5.4-inch outer one, the A20 Pro chip, titanium frame, and battery claims of 31 and 44 hours of video.
Luke
Those battery numbers are Apple's own claims, and the article itself says real life will vary. There's no independent testing in this reporting, and nothing on how the hinge holds up.
Mark
So what should a buyer watch?
Mimi
The delivery date and final price at checkout, and whether the offers apply to their situation.
Luke
Also stock. The piece says availability may vary by colour and storage, but gives no supply figures.

Pre-orders for Apple's first foldable iPhone open in India on October 16 at 5:30 pm IST via apple.com/in and the Apple Store app. Prices run from Rs 2,99,900 (256GB) to Rs 4,49,900 (2TB). Bank offers of up to Rs 7,000 and trade-in credit of up to Rs 81,500 depend on card, model and terms.
Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, opens India pre-orders at 5:30 pm IST on October 16, starting at Rs 2,99,900, with sales from October 23.
At 5:30 pm IST on Friday, October 16, Apple opens pre-orders in India for the iPhone Duo, the company's first foldable smartphone. Buyers can book through apple.com/in or the Apple Store app, and the phone goes on sale on October 23.
The entry price is Rs 2,99,900 for the 256GB model. From there the ladder climbs: Rs 3,24,900 for 512GB, Rs 3,74,900 for 1TB, and Rs 4,49,900 for the 2TB version. Two colours are offered, Star White and Night Sky.
The phone behaves like an ordinary handset when shut and unfolds into a larger screen. Inside is a 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR display; the outer screen measures 5.4 inches and is also Super Retina XDR. Both support ProMotion, Apple's technology for smoother scrolling. The pitch to buyers is more room for video, games and running several apps at once, and the software, iOS 27, lets apps work across the larger display.
Under the surface is Apple's A20 Pro chip, which the company positions for demanding apps, gaming and artificial intelligence features. The phone supports Apple Intelligence. The frame is titanium, joined by a specially designed hinge. On the camera side, the published specifications list two 48-megapixel rear cameras, a main and an ultra-wide, plus a 12-megapixel front camera.
Apple's battery claims are specific: up to 31 hours of video playback on the inner display and up to 44 hours on the outer one. Actual life will depend on how the phone is used.
Several offers soften the price, though all are subject to terms and eligibility. Holders of eligible American Express, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank cards can get up to Rs 7,000 off. EMI options run up to six months on eligible purchases. Trading in an eligible older iPhone can bring up to Rs 81,500 in credit, depending on model and condition. Eligible buyers may also receive three months of Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade. The final discount turns on the card used, the model chosen and the offer conditions.
Ordering follows the usual path: find the iPhone Duo in the smartphone section of the site or app, pick a colour and storage size, review the bank offers, EMI plans and trade-in options, add it to the bag, enter delivery details and pay with an eligible method. Apple Stores and authorised retailers can also advise on availability.
Availability may vary by storage option and colour. With the sale date a week away, the things to watch are the delivery dates shown at checkout and how trade-in values and card offers actually work out against the maximums advertised.
