The iPhone Duo is one of the best foldable phones you can buy. Sure, it's costly at $1,999, but Apple nailed the design and the iPhone Duo's software is as intuitive as it gets. Unfortunately, Apple's foldable is backordered with some shipping dates delayed as far back as February 2027.
That's where I can help. As deals editor at Tom's Guide, I've tracked everything from PS5 consoles to GPU cards. On this page I'm tracking the latest iPhone Duo restocks so that you can get your phone as soon as possible. Currently, my best piece of advice is to place your order as soon as you can and to be as flexible as you can. For example, the base 256GB model — which happens to be the cheapest model — is backordered through late December no matter where you look. However, certain carriers — like Xfinity Mobile — have an estimated ship date of early December 3.
