The unveiling of the iPhone Duo has increased interest in folding phones — and Samsung has just confirmed that it’s not just for iPhones.
The iPhone Duo went up for preorder at 8 AM ET (5 AM PT) this morning, and delivery estimates immediately started slipping from Apple’s October 23 launch date. As of one hour after orders opened, delivery estimates have slipped to the very end of January 2027, a three-month delay.
Apple’s highly anticipated foldable phone is finally coming: The iPhone Duo will be available for preorder on Friday, and will hit stores next Friday, Oct. 23. (If you’re looking to upgrade, make sure you check out the trade-in and other deals at T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T .)
