Summary
Oct. 23 is when Apple says the iPhone Duo will first ship, and it will run iOS 27.1 rather than iOS 27.
iOS 27.1 adds features built specifically for the Duo’s foldable design, making Apple’s first foldable phone the only device likely to get that version at launch.
Sept. 16 also marked the start of the iOS 27.2 beta, reinforcing that most existing iPhones may never see iOS 27.1.
Oct. 16 is when preorders open, while Apple said all devices — including the Duo — will be able to update to iOS 27.2 later this year.
