UAE buyers ready to pay up to Dh2,500 extra for Apple’s iPhone Duo

UAE consumers are showing strong interest in Apple's newly released iPhone Duo, with some willing to pay up to Dh2,500 more for immediate availability on release day. The foldable smartphone starts at Dh8,499 and comes in two colors, Star White and Night Sky. Traders in Dubai's Deira and Baniyas markets report high demand, particularly from loyal Apple users eager to be among the first to own the innovative device. Many customers are upgrading from previous models like the iPhone 17 Pro Max, skipping newer versions to wait for this historic product. However, not all Apple enthusiasts are rushing to buy the Duo, some are holding off due to features like the absence of Face ID, while others plan to purchase future iterations once improvements are made.
