Dubai: Apple's first foldable iPhone , the iPhone Duo, is on sale in the UAE today, Friday, October 23, with prices starting at Dh8,499. It is Apple's most expensive iPhone yet, offering a folding display that opens into a tablet-like screen, new multitasking features and a different approach to photography.

The phone has been available for pre-order since October 16, but buyers can now purchase it through Apple's UAE stores, online store and the Apple Store app, subject to stock availability.

The biggest attraction is its folding design. When closed, the Duo looks like a compact smartphone with a 5.4-inch screen. Open it, and you get a 7.6-inch display, giving users more room to watch videos, read, work and use two apps at once.

But the extra screen comes at a considerable price. The top-end 2TB model costs Dh13,599, while some familiar iPhone Pro features, including Face ID and a dedicated telephoto camera, are missing.

So, what exactly are you getting for the money?…
