- Croma
- Vijay Sales
- Other authorized Apple partner stores
Apple currently operates six flagship retail stores in India, located in Saket, Noida, two locations in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Pune.
The company is offering an in-store pickup option for online orders, subject to local stock availability. Additionally, Instamart has listed the iPhone Duo for quick delivery to customers in the Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru regions.
Launch Offers
Apple has introduced a few financial benefits for early buyers of the new foldable phone:

- No-cost EMI options for up to 12 months on qualifying purchases.

Display and Hardware
The iPhone Duo gets a 5.4-inch outer display and a larger 7.6-inch flexible inner screen. The phone uses Apple’s A20 Pro chip and runs iOS 27.
Its foldable layout also supports Split View for running two tasks on the screen. StandBy mode can turn the phone into a clock or information display when placed in a suitable position.
The phone uses a titanium frame and has an advanced hinge system designed for its folding mechanism.
Camera Setup
Photography and videography are handled by a capable dual-camera system on the back, along with dedicated front sensors:
- 48MP Fusion Main camera
- 48MP Fusion Ultra-Wide camera
- 12MP Centre Stage outer front camera
- Under-display FaceTime camera on the inner screen
- Video recording capabilities of up to 4K at 120fps
Early buyers have highlighted the seamless multitasking experience as one of the most practical and useful aspects of the new foldable design.
Demand and Availability
The launch has triggered long lines at physical Apple stores, and tight initial stock has caused delivery timelines to stretch for new orders. Orders placed on the website today are showing delivery estimates as late as January, while customers who pre-ordered early are expecting their devices in November or December.
This limited availability has reportedly driven some eager buyers toward the grey market, where units are being sold at significant premiums over the official retail price.
