Apple iPhone Duo to Drive Revenue Growth with $1,999 Price Tag
Apple's new iPhone Duo is set to hit the market on October 23, with pre-orders starting a week earlier. The device will come with a hefty price tag of at least $1,999, which is $800 higher than the iPhone 18 Pro.
Despite its high price, analysts believe that the iPhone Duo will be a hit and drive Apple's revenue growth in fiscal 2027. In fact, they predict that Apple's revenue will climb 10.5% next year, marking the first time since fiscal 2012 that the company delivers back-to-back years of double-digit revenue growth.
Apple is already on the verge of reaching a market cap of $5 trillion, and this new device could help it overtake Nvidia to become the most valuable company by market capitalization. The stock has soared by more than 40% in the past year, while Nvidia's stock has risen by 26%.
The iPhone Duo's success is attributed to its innovative design, which features a foldable screen and a convenient passport-sized profile when doubled up. Leading wireless carriers will also continue to subsidize smartphone purchases tied to multi-year contracts, making it more affordable for consumers.
