Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, has generated significant buzz online following the announcement of its domestic pricing.
On various online communities, posts summarizing the iPhone Duo's launch prices in South Korea have circulated widely.
According to Apple Korea's official sales page, the iPhone Duo is priced at 3.29 million won for the 256GB model, 3.59 million won for the 512GB model, 4.19 million won for the 1TB model, and 5.09 million won for the 2TB model. The highest capacity model exceeds 5 million won.
In response to the pricing, users expressed their thoughts, with comments such as, "The Fold 8 Ultra is 2,099 dollars but only 2.57 million won, so why is the Duo 3.29 million won?" and "Is this phone really going to hit 5 million won?" Others remarked, "I might as well buy an iPad Pro instead of this," and questioned whether the prices included VAT.
One user pointed out the weight, stating, "This is as heavy as the Fold 4, so it must be quite heavy."
The iPhone Duo is Apple's first foldable iPhone. It features a 7.6-inch internal display when opened and a 5.4-inch external display when closed. The internal screen is the largest ever on an iPhone, designed for multitasking with the ability to run two apps simultaneously.
Apple emphasized the device's pocket-friendly design when closed, while highlighting its large screen for video viewing and multitasking when opened.
The camera system includes a 48MP dual Fusion camera on the rear, combining a main camera and an ultra-wide camera, with support for up to 2x optical quality zoom. The device runs on a newly configured iOS 27, tailored for the foldable screen, supporting multitasking and various angles for device positioning.
The iPhone Duo features a dual battery system, with Apple’s official specifications indicating a maximum video playback time of 31 hours on the internal display and 44 hours on the external display.
Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo will begin on October 16 at 9 PM, with the official release set for October 23.
