The foldable iPhone: barely available second-hand yet

The Duo is the iPhone that unfolds: closed for calls and messages, open for films, maps or two apps side by side. It suits anyone who no longer wants to carry a phone and a tablet separately. Storage: 256 GB to 2 TB.

Because the model is so new, used units are hardly available at the moment. Meanwhile, have a look at the iPhone 17 or browse all iPhones. When one comes in, we test it in Switzerland and check the battery. You then get a 1-year warranty, extendable to 3 years, and 14 days to return it.
