As Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo went on sale in India An Apple fan travelled from Chandigarh to the Noida store to pick up three pre-ordered units, spending approximately ₹9 lakh😱 The premium device starts at ₹2,99,900 for the base 256GB model. Addressing the motivation behind the massive purchase, the father of Delhi's first buyer, Akshat, explained they wanted the device for "exclusivity". Sharing his experience as an early adopter of the new form factor, Akshat stated, "I expected that there would be huge queues outside the store, but there are not. I feel the phone is very premium. An iPhone is an iPhone and it gives the right feel."

The biggest issue (in my opinion) is not the fact that apps aren’t optimized yet, that would eventually be fixed. The biggest issue is the fact that Apple could easily have enabled the left swipe gesture on this new form factor. It would have made things so much easier. While the entire UI keeps pushing you towards the right side of the screen for obvious reasons, you still need to reach to the far left to go back. Such a missed opportunity.
