Apple says the iPhone Duo will ship with iOS 27.1 when it launches this October, which gives us a hint at when the first major iOS 27 update will come out.

The iPhone Duo will be available on October 23, so iOS 27.1 should be released shortly before that date. Last year, iOS 26.1 didn't come out until November 3, but we're expecting iOS 27.1 about two weeks earlier.

iOS 27.1 will include updated app layouts built for the iPhone Duo's dual displays and its new vertical dock.

The iPhone 18 Pro models will ship with iOS 27 and are set to launch on September 18, so the iPhone Duo is coming just over a month later. iOS 27 will launch on September 14.

Apple will accept pre-orders for the iPhone Duo on October 16, a week ahead of the October 23 launch.

Good to know. Looks like it is very possible for some of the Duos to require a day one update since many of them would already have been manufactured and ready to ship.

it seems like apple really nailed multitasking on the duo. I hope we see these changes on iPadOS because windowing and multitasking is so broken.
 
The texting/writing experience in this format is quite awful since the keyboard is taking up more than half the screen which makes it harder to see what you are replying to, during the presentation I was hoping that Apple would show how the texting experience is but they did not mention this at all! Which is not promising.

At time of writing £1 = £1.37 US dollars. Taking the VAT at 20% off the price off the the UK price of £1999 it would be £1665.83. In dollars this would be $2,256.32. However depending on which state you purchase your phone it’s still cheaper in the US. The only time it would be more expensive if sales tax was greater than 12%. Yet again Apple appears to be overpricing in the UK.

When selling oversees Apple has additional costs for things like currency exchange fluctuations, higher retail costs and compliance with differing regulations.

I suspect most of that is a buffer to protect from exchange rate swings. But things like differing regulations come at a cost and Apple is a business and isn’t just going to eat that.

Also there’s the increased costs of providing 2 year warranties and more consumer protections.

There are many countries where there is no Apple Store

So there is no 14 days return and all the support and walk in service Apple known for.elsewhere

There seems no evidence of credit back for the complete lack of these absent services
