Apple's first foldable, the iPhone Duo, is officially available for pre-order in Australia, and if you're keen to get your hands on one, I've got your back.
The handset is available for pre-order at major retailers and through payment plans at the Big Three telcos. The iPhone Duo starts at AU$3,499 for the 256GB model and caps out at AU$5,899 for the 2TB model. The foldable can be purchased outright at the Apple Store or via its financing program with Afterpay.
In addition to the Apple Store, retailers and telcos such as Amazon, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Vodafone, Optus and Telstra will stock the new handset.
Select retailers will accept trade-ins for your old phone and offer credit towards the iPhone Duo. Apple is also offering trade-in credit between AU$70 and AU$1,595, with the higher credit reserved for a newer phone — i.e., an iPhone 17 Pro Max. If you're opting for a trade-in, you can calculate your phone's credit value at Optus, Vodafone or JB Hi-Fi.
But enough with the fuss — here are the best iPhone Duo pre-order offers available right now.
