Apple’s first foldable iPhone launches in Pakistan on global release day

iPhone Duo Launches in Pakistan

Mercantile, Apple’s authorised distributor in Pakistan, has introduced the iPhone Duo Pakistan launch alongside the global release.

The arrival gives local customers access to the company’s first foldable smartphone with PTA approval and a one-year official Apple warranty.

The Apple foldable iPhone was announced on September 9, with pre-orders opening on October 16 and shipping beginning on October 23.

The device features a large inner screen that folds into a more compact phone for everyday use.

According to the launch details, the iPhone Duo Pakistan model has a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.4-inch outer screen. It is powered by Apple’s A20 Pro chip and C2 modem, designed to support the phone’s performance and connectivity.

Camera and Design Features

The phone includes two 48-megapixel rear cameras, one main camera and one ultrawide camera. It supports 2x optical zoom but does not include a dedicated telephoto camera.

The device measures just 5.2mm when unfolded and 11.3mm when folded, with a total weight of 254 grams. Its design features a grade 5 aluminium hinge and a nanotexture finish.

Apple claims the phone can deliver up to 44 hours of video playback when using the outer display. However, the actual battery performance may vary depending on usage and settings.

Unlike several recent premium smartphones, the device does not use Face ID. Instead, it includes Touch ID in the side button and supports Apple Watch unlocking.

What Pakistani Buyers Should Know

The Apple foldable iPhone uses eSIM technology only, meaning buyers should check whether their mobile operator supports eSIM activation before purchasing it.

Mercantile has confirmed the phone’s PTA approval and one-year official Apple warranty. However, a confirmed local retail price was not provided in the available launch information, so the iPhone Duo price Pakistan remains an important detail for buyers awaiting official pricing.

For customers comparing premium smartphones, the iPhone Duo price Pakistan will likely be a major factor in deciding whether the foldable design and new features justify the cost.

Updates from Mercantile Pakistan may provide further information about local availability and pricing.
