Telecommunications group Partner has announced the opening of pre-orders in Israel for Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo. The device, which marks Apple's entry into the flexible screen market, features an external 5.4-inch display and an internal 7.6-inch foldable screen. Pre-orders are available through Partner's service centers, website, and phone lines, with official delivery commencing on Friday, October 23rd, via express shipping.
Recognizing the high cost and fragility of foldable screens, Partner is offering a 50 shekel discount on its Private Care Top repair service, which includes one free screen repair for either the internal or external display, covering damage not included under the standard manufacturer's warranty. Partner is also continuing its price-matching initiative against KSP, promising to match any lower official import price found on KSP's website.
Additional benefits for iPhone Duo purchasers include a three-year warranty, access to 27 service labs nationwide with quick repairs and replacement devices, and flexible payment options. A trade-in program offers up to 4,300 shekels for older iPhones (iPhone 11 and newer, depending on model and condition). Buyers will also receive discounts of up to 400 shekels on new Apple Watches and up to 250 shekels on select AirPods models.
The iPhone Duo comes with a premium price tag, with the 256GB model costing 8,199 shekels, the 512GB model at 8,799 shekels, the 1TB model at 9,999 shekels, and the 2TB model reaching 12,199 shekels. Apple's entry into the foldable market intensifies competition with manufacturers like Samsung, with pricing and comprehensive service packages expected to be key purchasing factors for Israeli consumers.
