Apple Launches First Foldable iPhone in South Africa
Published
Apple has officially announced the arrival of its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, to the South African market. The company confirmed that pre-orders for the new device are now open for local customers.
The iPhone Duo represents a significant shift in Apple’s product design, as it is the brand's first entry into the foldable phone category. This technology allows the screen to fold in half, offering users a larger display while maintaining a compact size when closed.
Potential buyers should be prepared for a premium price tag. The device is set to retail at just under R50,000, with official pricing starting at approximately R48,000. This places the iPhone Duo among the most expensive smartphones currently available in the country.
Tech experts suggest that this launch marks a new chapter for Apple as it competes with other manufacturers who have already released foldable devices. South African consumers interested in the latest mobile technology can now place their orders through official retail channels.
