iPhone Duo Unlocked or on a Carrier: The Three-Year Cost, and Why No Carrier Has Priced It
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…

How Tough Is iPhone Duo's Hinge? Apple Published IP68 and 100 Components, but Not a Fold Count
Apple has published a great deal about how iPhone Duo is built and one thing it has not published at all: how many times the hinge is rated to open and close. For a $1,999 phone whose defining part is a hinge, that absence is the most important line in the specification. The inner display…
Will iPhone Duo's Crease Bother You? What Apple's Nano-Texture Claim Really Promises
