iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 in the US, and Apple’s Store pages now list it in ten countries, from £1,999 in the UK to ₹2,99,900 in India. The UK is the only market where the local figure matches the US number digit for digit, and India has the smallest climb from 256GB to 2TB at 50 percent; which country is cheapest in converted dollars depends on the exchange rate on the day, which Apple does not publish and this article does not apply.

What the tables below show instead is how Apple has structured the price in each market: the entry figure, the top figure and the size of each storage step, read from Apple’s Store page for that country. For the phone itself, see our iPhone Duo specs, price and release date guide.

India₹2,99,900From ₹48,817 per month

Two patterns stand out. The UK price uses the same digits as the US price at every tier, so a British buyer sees £1,999, £2,199, £2,599 and £3,199 against the American $1,999, $2,199, $2,599 and $3,199. And France charges €40 more than Germany at every tier, €2,339 against €2,299 at the entry level.

Only three of the ten Store pages print a per-model monthly figure: the US, the UK and India. The others name a financing partner or a term range and stop there. Compare that with the iPhone 18 Pro’s $49.95 monthly option, which Apple also publishes only for the US in its press release.

iPhone Duo 2TB price in every country, ranked by the jump

The 2TB model is where the markets separate. Measured as a percentage of the 256GB price, the climb to the top tier ranges from 50 percent in India to about 69 percent in Australia.

Country2TBIncrease over 256GBAs a percentage
India₹4,49,900₹1,50,00050
Japan¥574,800¥210,00058
SingaporeS$4,899S$1,80058
US$3,199$1,20060
UK£3,199£1,20060
CanadaC$4,799C$1,80060
UAEAED 13,599AED 5,10060
France€3,839€1,50064
Germany€3,799€1,50065
AustraliaA$5,899A$2,40069

Four markets, the US, UK, Canada and UAE, land on exactly 60 percent. The euro countries sit above that because the same €1,500 step applies to a lower starting price in Germany than in France, and Australia’s A$2,400 step is the largest relative to its entry price.

How the storage steps are built

In every one of the ten countries, the three steps follow the same 1:2:3 ratio: the move from 512GB to 1TB costs twice the move from 256GB to 512GB, and the move from 1TB to 2TB costs three times it.

  • US and UK: $200 or £200, then $400 or £400, then $600 or £600
  • Canada: C$300, C$600, C$900
  • Australia: A$400, A$800, A$1,200
  • Germany and France: €250, €500, €750
  • Japan: ¥35,000, ¥70,000, ¥105,000
  • Singapore: S$300, S$600, S$900
  • UAE: AED 850, AED 1,700, AED 2,550
  • India: ₹25,000, ₹50,000, ₹75,000

That makes the 512GB model the cheapest upgrade in relative terms everywhere, and the final step to 2TB accounts for exactly half of the total climb from the entry model.

What the price does not change

The hardware is identical in all ten countries: a 7.6-inch inner and 5.4-inch outer display, the A20 Pro, the 48MP Dual Fusion camera system with no telephoto, Touch ID in the side button, and dual eSIM with no physical SIM anywhere in the world. Colors are Night Sky and Star White in every market, and every model ships with iOS 27.1 and a 1 m USB-C cable.

What differs by country is the launch wave. Apple’s press release lists Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Singapore, the UAE, the UK and the US among the more than 70 first-wave countries for October 23, with 28 more on October 30.

What Apple has not said

  • A currency-converted comparison between countries, or any statement about why local prices differ
  • Per-model monthly figures for Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Japan, Singapore or the UAE
  • The 28 countries in the October 30 second wave
  • AppleCare+ pricing for iPhone Duo in any country
  • Trade-in values for iPhone Duo purchases outside the US, where Apple gives only a $175 to $885 range for iPhone 13 or later

Pre-orders open Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. PT in the US, with local times on each country’s Store page, and the phone ships Friday, October 23. If the $700 gap to the Pro Max is the number you are weighing, our iPhone Duo vs iPhone 18 Pro Max comparison puts the two spec sheets side by side.
