The iPhone Duo’s price starts where the iPhone 18 Pro Max tops out. Here’s what every model costs, what you pay a month and how much tax and trade-in change the total.

$1,999 for 256GB, $2,199 for 512GB, $2,599 for 1TB and $3,199 for 2TB, according to Apple’s US online store. Both colors, star white and night sky, cost the same, as our iPhone Duo colors page shows. The jumps grow with storage: 512GB adds $200, 1TB adds $600 and 2TB adds $1,200 over the base model.
| Storage | Full price | Apple Card, 24 months | Apple Upgrade lease, 24 months | AT&T Next, 36 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 256GB | $1,999 | $83.29 | $57.99 | $55.53 |

| 2TB | $3,199 | $133.29 | $92.81 | $88.87 |
Apple Card Monthly Installments split the full price over 24 months at 0% APR. Apple Upgrade is a lease run with Klarna: the payments are lower because you return the phone after 24 months, or earlier when you upgrade, unless you buy it out with a one-time payment. Over two years, the 256GB lease adds up to $1,391.76, by our calculation.
IPhone Duo price vs. iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max
| Storage | iPhone Duo | iPhone 18 Pro Max | iPhone 18 Pro |
|---|---|---|---|

| 1TB | $2,599 | $1,899 | $1,799 |

The gap is $700 over the Pro Max and $800 over the Pro at every storage size. All three run the A20 Pro chip. The extra money pays for the folding 7.6-inch inner screen and the 5.4-inch outer screen, while the Pro models keep a third rear camera with a longer zoom, as our iPhone Duo dimensions page explains.
What the iPhone Duo costs with sales tax
Apple’s prices don’t include sales tax, and the total depends on where the phone ships.

How much trade-in takes off
Apple Trade In pays up to $885 for an iPhone 17 Pro Max, $785 for an iPhone 17 Pro and $585 for an iPhone Air or iPhone 17, and any iPhone gets $35 to $885. The top credit brings a 256GB iPhone Duo to $1,114 before tax. Buying through Apple with a carrier and a trade-in brings bill credits of up to $1,200 at AT&T and up to $1,000 at T-Mobile and Verizon, and T-Mobile’s own offer takes $1,000 off without a trade-in for new lines on a $100-plus plan, as our iPhone Duo deals page explains.
AppleCare+ and accessories

Apple’s iPhone Duo Case costs $79 and the Folio with Kickstand $129, compared on our iPhone Duo case page.
