Where to buy the iPhone Duo for best chance of UK delivery before Christmas 2026

UPDATE: Right the only UK retailers promising a 2026 delivery are Mobiles.co.uk and Carphone Warehouse which are both offering 26 November 2026. Sky is also suggesting a 2-3 week wait.

The iPhone Duo went on sale on 23 October after huge demand during pre-order saw stock sold out almost immediately.

Apple said that demand for the new iPhone Duo is “nothing short of extraordinary” as some of those even half an hour late to pre-order were given a delivery date of January 2027.

However since then, some retailers have moved their delivery dates forward, meaning you could get the new foldable before Christmas.

During Apple's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings call on 2 November, Apple COO Sabih Khan provided an update on the availability of the iPhone Duo, saying, "iPhone Duo is constrained as of today.

"The ramp is going well, and we’re working hard to get this revolutionary new product into the hands of our customers as quickly as possible. But at this time, it’s really hard to predict when supply and demand will be in balance.”

Below, we've given you a full breakdown of where the iPhone Duo is still in stock and how long you'll have to wait for delivery. Plus, we've got the lowdown on the iPhone Duo's fancy new design including colourways, size and feel.

Plus, will the iPhone Duo be discounted in the 2026 Black Friday sales and when do Black Friday sales start?

What are the new features of the iPhone Duo?

iPhone Duo unfolded

As well as bearing a completely new foldable design, the iPhone Duo also has Apple's largest and thinnest phone screen ever. When opened, the device has a 7.6-inch inner display and is 5.2 mm (0.21 inches) thick when unfolded. When closed, it has a 5.4-inch display – which is still 90% of the size of the iPhone 18 Pro screen– and 11.3 mm (0.44 inches) thick.

Both displays are Super Retina XDR and share the same aspect ratio, so content scales proportionally to being open or closed. A premium nano-texture finish reduces glare and reflections, creating a matte surface that minimises crease visibility and feel. Plus, beneath the inner display, a new FaceTime camera stays hidden when not in use to keep the screen uninterrupted.

The displays also feature ProMotion (which keeps your phone scrolling and movement smooth) and Always On (which keeps a dimmed version of your lock screen visible at all time), plus 3000 nits of peak outdoor brightness. Later this year, iPhone Duo will support Apple Pencil with USB-C, allowing users to take notes, sketch, or mark up documents on either display.

Last but not least, Touch ID is integrated into the side button to get you in whether iPhone Duo is open or closed.

What colours is the iPhone Duo available in?

The iPhone Duo is available in two colourways: (light silver) and (deep navy).
