iPhone Duo starts at ₹2,99,900 in India, and Apple’s own store shows a monthly figure from ₹48,817 against it. That is not a long instalment plan: six of those payments come to ₹2,92,902, which is ₹6,998 below the list price, so the number you see already has a cashback deduction folded in and is spread…

Apple Trade In or Sell It Yourself for an iPhone Duo? The Number You Have to Beat
Apple will credit $175 to $885 against a new iPhone for an iPhone 13 or later, and it applies that credit instantly at the point of sale. Selling the same phone yourself has no published price, so the only useful way to compare the two is to treat Apple’s number as the figure a private…
iPhone Duo Pre-Order Day, October 16: What Actually Decides Your Delivery Date
iPhone Duo pre-orders open at 5 a.m. PT on Friday, October 16, and the first units arrive on Friday, October 23.

iPhone Duo at $1,999: Will It Ever Go on Sale, and What Apple Did to iPhone Prices in 2026
Apple has published no discount of any kind on iPhone Duo, and the only time Apple moved iPhone prices in 2026 it moved them up. Four older iPhones went up $100 each on September 9, which is the exact opposite of the pattern that makes waiting for a price cut look sensible. The 7.6-inch inner…

Buy an iPhone Duo unlocked from Apple and the three-year cost is knowable today: $1,999 for 256GB, or 24 payments of $83.29 at 0 percent, and the phone is yours. Buy it on a carrier and the three-year cost is not knowable, because no US carrier has published an iPhone Duo offer of any kind.…
iPhone Duo Trade-In: What Apple Will Credit, and Why $885 Is Not Your Number
Apple’s published trade-in figure for an iPhone Duo purchase is a range, not a price: $175 to $885 in credit for an iPhone 13 or later, applied instantly at checkout. The top of that range needs an iPhone 17 Pro Max in good condition, and even then it leaves $1,114 to pay on a $1,999…

iPhone 18 Pro Storage vs iCloud: The $5.56 a Month That Decides Which Is Cheaper

Apple Names 'AFM 3 Cloud Models' in an iPhone 18 Pro Footnote, and Confirms a Paid Tier Is Coming
Apple has put two significant things in the same footnote of the iPhone 18 Pro press release.

Apple lists the 256GB iPhone 18 Pro at 219,800 yen in Japan, AED 5,099 in the UAE and S$1,899 in Singapore, and the most consequential difference between the three storefronts is not the price. Japan and the UAE are both on Apple’s eSIM-only list, so phones sold there have no SIM tray at all, while…

iPhone 18 Pro Accessories: What the Case, Strap and Charger Add to $1,199
The iPhone 18 Pro box contains a phone and a one metre USB-C cable, and nothing else. Everything else Apple sells for it is a separate line on the bill, and the single item that Apple’s own fastest charging claim depends on does not have a published price. iPhone 18 Pro ships with a 1…

iOS 27 Backup Checklist: What to Confirm Before You Tap Update
iOS 27 arrives on Monday, September 14, and the one job worth finishing before you tap update is a backup you have actually confirmed completed.
