As of Nov 7, 2026, Apple India sells iPhone Duo for ₹2,99,900 to ₹4,49,900, depending on storage, with all taxes included. India was part of the first launch wave on Oct 23, and Apple's own No Cost EMI offer on the Duo runs only until Nov 11, 2026.

All prices here are in Indian rupees as Apple lists them. Nothing is converted.

Apple says its listed pricing is the Maximum Retail Price, "inclusive of all taxes," so GST is already in those numbers; Apple doesn't show the GST amount separately. The same four prices appeared in Deccan Chronicle's Sept 10 report.

Going from 256GB to 2TB adds ₹1,50,000, by iPhoneDuoGuide's arithmetic. More on picking a tier in the storage tier price guide.

No Cost EMI and bank offers at Apple India

Apple India's No Cost EMI offer runs from Oct 11 through Nov 11, 2026, and Apple's Ways to Buy page says it may be revised or withdrawn without notice. The catch for the Duo: while other eligible products get 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month tenures, iPhone Duo is limited to 3- and 6-month No Cost EMI. Apple names no banks for No Cost EMI beyond "most leading card issuers," and the minimum spend depends on your card issuer.

Separately, Apple offers instant cashback with qualifying American Express, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank cards. As of Nov 7, 2026, the Ways to Buy page lists ₹7,000 for iPhone Duo under its iPhone offers, beneath a headline of up to ₹15,000 instant cashback, and gives no end date for the cashback. Apple's footnotes add a ₹10,001 minimum transaction, a limit of two orders per rolling 90-day period, and a clawback if you cancel or change the order.

As of Nov 7, 2026, the monthly figures on the store, from ₹26,574 a month on 256GB, are not No Cost EMI. Apple says they assume standard EMI at 15.99% a year over 12 months, and they match the MRP minus ₹7,000 cashback, by iPhoneDuoGuide's arithmetic. Neither offer is available to Business customers or combinable with Education or Corporate Employee Purchase Plan pricing.

Apple's iPhone Duo page also lists credit or debit card, RuPay, UPI and Net Banking as payment options.

Apple Trade In in India

As of Nov 7, 2026, Apple's iPhone Duo store page says you can get ₹4,500-₹81,500 for your trade-in, while its Ways to Buy page says you can save up to ₹62,000 on an eligible smartphone. Apple's iPhone Duo page says Android phones qualify too. Values depend on the trade-in device's condition, year and configuration, and Apple says the final credit depends on the device matching the description you gave.

A few conditions apply. You must be at least the age of majority, in-store trade-in needs a valid photo ID, and Apple says in-store values may differ from online estimates. Devices that don't qualify for credit can be recycled for free.

Launch date and delivery waits

Apple's announcement lists India among the more than 70 countries and regions where pre-orders began Oct 16 and sales started Oct 23. Apple India's newsroom post put the Indian pre-order start at 5:30 pm IST on Oct 16.

Online dates slipped quickly. Digit reported on Oct 17 that Apple's online estimates for every configuration had moved to late January 2027, and Free Press Journal reported on Oct 19 that fresh orders showed Jan 23, 2027. Apple hasn't said when Indian supply will catch up, so check the date at checkout before you pay.

Where to see and buy iPhone Duo in India

Apple says iPhone Duo is sold on apple.com/in and at selected partner stores, subject to partner availability, and that you can see it at all Apple Store locations. Apple's India store list names six stores: Saket in New Delhi, Hebbal in Bengaluru, BKC and Borivali in Mumbai, Koregaon Park in Pune, and Noida.

Apple doesn't name its partner stores on the iPhone Duo page. More on retailer choices in where to buy iPhone Duo.

eSIM only: what Jio, Airtel and Vi say

Apple's announcement says iPhone Duo is eSIM-only worldwide, and Apple India's page says eSIM use needs a carrier that supports eSIM and a wireless plan. Apple's India store doesn't name a carrier; for 5G, it says you need a network provider that offers 5G service.

As of Nov 7, 2026, iPhoneDuoGuide couldn't find iPhone Duo named on any of the three big carriers' own eSIM pages, so support for the Duo specifically couldn't be confirmed. Here's what each page does say.

• Jio: Jio's eSIM device FAQ lists only older iPhones, from iPhone XS and XR to the iPhone 11 series, and shows no update date.
• Airtel: Airtel's eSIM page says device-to-device transfer works for iPhone XS, XS Max, XR "or newer models," without naming the Duo. Airtel's process runs through the Airtel app with your 32-digit EID, an OTP and a confirmation call, and Airtel bars incoming and outgoing SMS, including OTPs, for 24 hours afterward.
• Vi: Vi's iPhone eSIM guide, published March 2, 2026, lists models up to the iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air. Vi says app activation is for postpaid users, the SMS method works for prepaid and postpaid, and eSIM isn't offered in its Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Odisha, North East and Assam circles.

The SMS barring matters: if your bank sends OTPs to that number, it appears you'll want to finish any card payments before moving your Airtel line to the Duo. Coming from Android? Apple's support document on transferring an eSIM from Android lists no Indian carriers, so ask yours for a new eSIM instead. See the guides on switching from Android and moving an eSIM between iPhones.

AppleCare+ and repair costs in India

As of Nov 7, 2026, Apple India's AppleCare page lists AppleCare+ for iPhone Duo at ₹2,599 a month or ₹51,900 for two years, and AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss at ₹2,999 a month or ₹29,999 a year.

The same page lists AppleCare+ service fees of ₹2,500 to ₹8,900 for screen or back glass damage, ₹8,900 for other accidental damage, ₹15,900 for a theft or loss replacement, and no fee for a battery replacement. Apple adds that iPhone Duo has a separate fee for replacing the inner display's cover layer: ₹1,900 with AppleCare, per Apple's India repair page, which lists ₹2,500 for the outer display and ₹8,900 for the inner display with AppleCare.

Without AppleCare, Apple India's repair page estimates out-of-warranty iPhone Duo repairs at ₹5,900 for the cover layer, ₹20,900 for back glass, ₹24,900 for the battery, ₹26,900 for the rear camera, ₹42,900 for the outer display, ₹55,900 for outer display and back glass, ₹1,49,900 for the inner display and ₹2,24,900 for other damage. Those are estimates: Apple inspects the device to set the final fee.

For the US fee structure, see Apple's iPhone Duo repair costs, and for whether it pays off, is AppleCare+ worth it.

Bottom line

As of Nov 7, 2026, iPhone Duo in India starts at ₹2,99,900 at Apple, taxes included. If you want No Cost EMI, the Duo gets only 3 or 6 months, and the offer ends Nov 11, 2026; the ₹7,000 card cashback has no stated end date.
