The iPhone Duo has just become available for pre-order, bringing with it a whole new era for foldable phones.

The brand-new foldable has a huge set of record-breaking specs, including being the company's thinnest and largest phone to date – unfolded that is.

When creating the device, Apple execs said they were determined to make sure it was smoother and sleeker than other foldables on the market.

Apple's CEO John Ternus told an audience at Apple's California headquarters: "Others have created foldables that just feel like two phones awkwardly stuck together." Apple's model, he claimed "redefines the experience of using a foldable phone".

He continued: "It's entirely new and at the same time remarkably familiar. A similar size to your passport, it feels familiar to hold and comfortable to use with one hand." Perhaps that's the reason for the £1,999 price tag...

Depending on storage, the new phone can go from just under £2,000 to £3,199, which is considerably more expensive than any previous iPhone. These days the average Brit is spending more on their phone upgrades. YouGov shows over 23% of buyers target handsets in the £751–£1,000 bracket, however, this is way beyond that.

So, if £1,999 seems way too much for you, we've collected a few ways to help you save, from SIM savings to huge trade-in deals. We've spent the last five years covering iPhone, Samsung and Google savings, so if you're looking to snap up a deal, this is the place.
