iPhone Duo launches today: reviews call it the best foldable but “a first-gen device in every possible way”; Jumbo sold out within hours and Apple raised production orders 40%

Friday is the first sales day for the iPhone Duo in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, from AED 8,499.

In the UAE, Jumbo says it sold out within hours and Eros says some variants are temporarily unavailable, while DigiTimes reports Apple raised its shipment target from 9.7 to 14 million units.

iPhone Duo battery is officially 4,883mAh: bigger than the 18 Pro and Fold8, smaller than the 18 Pro Max, with the full numbers from the EU product sheet

Apple never publishes battery capacities, but the EU Product Information Sheet for model A3720 does: 4,883mAh in two cells (2,962 + 1,921). That is 14% more than the iPhone 18 Pro, 12% less than the 18 Pro Max, and slightly above the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra. The sheet adds 51h30m endurance per charge, at least 1,000 cycles, repairability class C and 5 years of updates.

The product page talks about MagSafe magnets and never mentions adhesive. The official alternative is the Folio with Kickstand at AED 529.
