Price by country

iPhone Duo costs $1,999 for 256GB and $3,199 for 2TB at Apple’s US store as of Nov 7, 2026, and that US figure is the lowest sticker price of the 12 Apple stores in this guide. It is also one of only two, with Canada’s, where Apple’s page says sales tax is added on top, so the comparison needs a little care.

Apple’s iPhone Duo announcement lists more than 70 countries and regions in the Oct 23 first wave, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Singapore, the UAE, the UK and the US. Apple Hong Kong’s local newsroom post put Hong Kong pre-orders at 8 p.m. HKT on Oct 16.

iPhone Duo prices at Apple, by country

Every price below comes from Apple’s own store page for that country, read on Nov 7, 2026. Prices are the same for Star White and Night Sky in every store listed.

The US dollar column is a conversion done for this guide, not an Apple price. It uses the European Central Bank’s euro reference rates for Nov 6, 2026, the latest published as of Nov 7, cross-converted through the euro and rounded to the nearest dollar. The ECB says those rates are for information only, and the rate your bank or card applies will likely differ. The ECB doesn’t publish a dirham rate, so the UAE row uses the Central Bank of the UAE’s published rate of AED 3.6725 per US dollar, shown on Nov 6, 2026. The dirham has been officially pegged at that rate since 1997, according to The National.

Why the tax column matters

US and Canadian prices are shown before sales tax. Apple’s US store notes that sales tax may be assessed on the full value of a new iPhone, and the Canadian store says sales tax will be assessed on the full value of a new device purchase.

Most other stores fold tax into the sticker. Apple’s German store says its prices include 19% VAT, the UAE store says prices include 5% VAT but not delivery, the Singapore store says prices include GST, the China store says prices include VAT, and the India store calls its figure the Maximum Retail Price, inclusive of all taxes. Apple’s Japan store says displayed prices include tax.

Three stores don’t spell it out on the page. The UK’s Price Marking Order guidance says a selling price should include any taxes, Australia’s ACCC price display rules require a total price that includes taxes, and France’s official business guidance says prices are expressed in euros including all taxes (TTC). Apple’s Hong Kong store shows no tax note at all.

Where iPhone Duo is cheapest, on paper

Before tax, the US is cheapest at $1,999, with Canada next at about US$2,132 converted. Add a typical state or provincial sales tax and that lead shrinks, though how much depends on where you live.

Outside North America, Hong Kong converts lowest at about US$2,233 for 256GB, but Apple’s Hong Kong page has no tax note, so its figure can’t be compared on a tax basis from Apple’s page alone. Among stores whose own pages say tax is included, Japan converts lowest at about US$2,304, just under the UAE at about US$2,314, with China and Singapore at about US$2,398 and US$2,418. Australia converts to about US$2,404; its page doesn’t state tax, though the ACCC’s rules require a tax-inclusive total price.

India is the most expensive store in the table by a wide margin, at about US$3,193 for 256GB and US$4,790 for 2TB.

The 2TB model widens every gap. It is $1,200 more than 256GB in the US and the UK, but ¥210,000 more in Japan and ₹1,50,000 more in India, based on each store’s listed prices.

Buying iPhone Duo abroad: eSIM, carriers and model differences

Apple’s announcement says iPhone Duo uses an eSIM-only design worldwide, and the Hong Kong and China store pages both say the Duo has no physical SIM slot. That rules out the old trick of slipping a local SIM card into a phone bought overseas.

Apple’s support document on eSIM while traveling says that to use another carrier abroad, your iPhone cannot be locked to a carrier, and you can check for "No SIM Restrictions" in Settings > General > About. The same document says you can’t use an eSIM from a China mainland carrier on a device bought outside China mainland, which matters if you plan to use a Duo bought elsewhere in China.

Your carrier also has to support eSIM. Apple keeps a list of carriers that offer eSIM on iPhone, by country. Apple’s announcement also says the C2 modem now supports mmWave in the US. More on switching lines in how to move your eSIM.

Warranty and AppleCare+ don’t travel neatly

Apple’s one-year limited warranty for most markets outside the US says Apple may restrict iPhone warranty service to the country where the device was originally sold. It adds that service is limited to the options available in the country where you request it.

AppleCare+ also differs by country. The UK (as of Nov 3, 2026) and Germany (as of Nov 7) AppleCare pages list iPhone Duo coverage only as AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss, the Canadian page lists AppleCare+ at C$22.99 a month without a Theft and Loss option (as of Nov 4), and the India page lists both plans (as of Nov 7). Value questions are covered in is AppleCare+ worth it.

Repair estimates vary too. Apple’s repair pages, checked between Nov 3 and Nov 7, 2026, list an out-of-warranty inner display fee of $999 in the US (Nov 6), £999 in the UK (Nov 3), €1,149 in Germany (Nov 7), C$1,499 in Canada (Nov 4), A$1,749 in Australia (Nov 4) and ₹1,49,900 in India (Nov 7). The full US fee list is in Apple repair costs.

Bottom line

For most buyers, the cheapest iPhone Duo is the one sold where you live: a phone from a lower-priced store can save a few hundred dollars on paper, but you may lose easy warranty service and AppleCare+ options at home. One clear exception: if you need a China mainland carrier, buy the Duo in China mainland, since Apple says that carrier’s eSIM won’t work on a device bought elsewhere. Prices change, and we’ll update this table when Apple changes them. Spotted a store we missed?
