iPhone Duo will start shipping on the morning of October 23, but anyone who orders from now will have to wait until next year's Tet.
On the morning of October 23, iPhone Duo began to be sold and delivered to customers in Vietnam. CellphoneS opened for sale simultaneously at more than 180 stores, Di Dong Viet returned the first devices to pre-ordered customers, Topzone said it delivered 1,800 devices on the first day, and Viettel Store delivered 99% of the first pre-ordered devices in the morning. The commercial version in the article is the Starlight White color version distributed by Hoang Ha Mobile.
The box of the iPhone Duo is large in size, with a picture of the device printed on the front. The genuine version in Vietnam this year has code X/A. Open the box, the device is in opened form. In addition to the device, the accessories in the box only have a charging cable, along with a small piece of paper with the words "You no longer need a physical SIM card", implicitly indicating that the device only supports eSIM.
With a folding phone, the fold is the first detail the user looks at. When first opening the box, the fold on the screen is almost invisible and difficult to feel with your hands. However, after just a few times of folding and opening, the folds became more visible. However, it does not affect the experience much, because the main screen of the device is matte (matte, Apple calls nano-texture).
Regarding software, many applications are not currently optimized for the iPhone Duo screen. However, Apple is forcing developers to take into account this device: according to the notice sent to developers, from April 2027, all applications and games submitted to the App Store must include screenshots on iPhone Duo, otherwise they will not be approved. So, in the next few months, most applications will likely support the device better.
iPhone Duo has genuine prices from 64.99 million VND for the 256 GB version to 103.99 million VND for the 2 TB version. However, the device is currently sold out, the systems no longer have the device for sale. Di Dong Viet said that the first batch only meets about 2.5% of the needs of interested customers, and those who order from now on have to wait until next year's Tet to get the device.
