iPhone Duo Mexico from 48,000 pesos: How to buy and how long you'll wait

The sale of the iPhone Duo, Apple’s new foldable smartphone, begins in Mexico on Friday, October 23. The handset has drawn attention for its novel form factor, which departs from previous iPhone designs.

The launch stirred excitement among brand fans; some buyers have even lined up and camped outside stores—one notable gathering occurred at the Plaza Antara Apple Store in Mexico City—as they try to be among the first to buy it.

That said, one of the most convenient ways to get the device is online via Apple’s official store. Below we explain the different purchasing channels available in Mexico, the prices, and the delivery timeframes.

How to buy the iPhone Duo from Mexico

You can purchase the iPhone Duo through Apple’s Mexico online store, at authorized resellers such as MacStore, or at physical retail locations.

When buying on Apple’s website, customers select the color and storage capacity, add the phone to their cart and complete checkout. Apple provides free shipping and returns, and the site also lets you check whether an order is eligible for in-store pickup.

If you plan to walk into an Apple Store without placing an online order, be aware that Apple has warned stock will be limited; availability will therefore vary by location.

What does Apple’s foldable cost?

In Mexico the starting price for the iPhone Duo is 47,999 pesos for the 256 GB model. Prices increase with higher storage capacities, topping out at 77,999 pesos for the 2 TB version.

Storage – Full price – 18-month installment
256 GB – $47,999 – $2,666.61 per month
512 GB – $52,999 – $2,944.39 per month
1 TB – $62,999 – $3,499.94 per month
2 TB – $77,999 – $4,333.28 per month

These figures reflect the prices listed on Apple Mexico’s official storefront. The option to pay in monthly installments depends on the financing terms that apply at purchase.

What delivery window should buyers expect after ordering the iPhone Duo?

Delivery estimates for the iPhone Duo expanded after the first online allocation sold out within minutes. Apple reported that some orders are delayed, with estimated arrival dates extending as far out as January 2027.

For example, checking the official store showed a 256 GB unit in the Night Sky color with an estimated delivery date of Thursday, January 28, 2027, with shipping offered at no charge.

Delivery timing can change depending on the chosen color, storage size and the destination address, so it’s important to verify the estimated delivery date during checkout.

Those hoping to receive the phone sooner can check availability for in-store pickup, but Apple cautioned that walk-in stock will be limited and will differ by store.

Apple’s challenge in the foldable phone market

With the iPhone Duo, Apple enters a segment where competitors like Samsung and Huawei already have years of experience. Apple took roughly a decade to bring its first foldable to market, and now it must persuade buyers that its design adds meaningful value compared with established alternatives.

A key obstacle will be manufacturing enough units to satisfy demand. Unlike conventional iPhones, the Duo uses a precision hinge that complicates mass production, and scaling that manufacturing process to high volumes could take time.

Initial interest was visible in the rapid sell-out of the first online allocations and in extended delivery estimates—some customers are seeing dates as late as January 2027. Whether Apple can sustain that consumer enthusiasm as more units become available and whether the iPhone Duo can carve out a lasting position in a market where rivals are already entrenched remains to be seen.
