Will iPhone Duo get any cheaper during Black Friday 2026 sales?

It's an exciting time to be an Apple fan, as the tech giant have seen astronomical demand for their first-ever folding phone, the iPhone Duo.

This flagship foldable sold out pre-orders in under an hour in the UK, with only the very first to the mark receiving their model on launch day, Friday 23 October. Speaking to the Financial Times, Apple described the demand for the Duo as "nothing short of extraordinary".

This comes in the wake of an extremely successful trading year in 2026 so far, with Apple's latest financial report revealing that iPhone sales reached a September quarter record— figures which don't include sales of the iPhone Duo.

However, the launch of the iPhone Duo hasn't been without its bumps, with extreme demand leading to shipping delays and some users reporting cracks and faults in the folding screen.

With the current price of the iPhone Duo ranging from £1,999 to £3,199 outright or from £66.63 to £106.63 a month, it makes sense to be on the hunt for iPhone Duo Black Friday deals. Here's what we're expecting this year.

Should you wait for iPhone Duo Black Friday deals?

While we can't say anything for sure, it is highly unlikely that the iPhone Duo will be reduced in the 2026 Black Friday sales.

The iPhone Duo only officially went on sale a couple of weeks ago (on Friday 23 October), and Apple products this new are rarely discounted this quickly.

Plus, there's the added issue of stock shortages. It's currently incredibly difficult to get your hands on an iPhone Duo, never mind an iPhone Duo at a reduced price. Most UK retailers are currently offering shipping for over four weeks.

Instead, you can expect deals on previous iPhone models, such as the iPhone 18 range, iPhone 17 range and iPhone Air.
