Apple did not state the iPhone Duo's battery capacity at its early September presentation, but the product sheet filed for the EU energy label now gives it. The label lists a combined nominal capacity of 4,883 mAh, split between two connected cells, and the battery cannot be replaced by the user. It also rates the battery at 1,000 charge cycles and 51 hours and 30 minutes of autonomy per cycle. Within the same registry, the figure sits above the Samsung, Google and Motorola foldables listed but below the Honor Magic V6 and vivo X Fold6. The nominal figure refers to maximum charge capacity, and the autonomy rating comes from tests run under default settings.

The iPhone Duo goes on sale on Friday, 23 October, with a 5.4-inch outer OLED screen and a 7.6-inch inner panel, both supporting up to 120 Hz. The phone is rated IP68 and weighs 254 grams when folded, making it heavier and thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Xiaomi 18 Fold. Two 48-megapixel rear cameras and Touch ID on the side button complete the hardware, and the phone works only with eSIM. In Spain, prices range from 2,339 euros for 256 GB to 3,839 euros for 2 TB. Apple's claim of 50% charge in about 20 minutes requires a 60 W adapter or higher, which is sold separately.
Colombian pre-orders opened on 16 October, and the 256 GB units there sold out during the presale, according to EL PAÍS. Buyers there can reserve through more than 50 Mac Center stores or online, with in-store availability from 23 October. In Spain, new orders on Apple's website now carry delivery dates at the end of January 2027, while only reservations placed in time are due on the sale day. La Razón, in an opinion column, says stock ran out in under 180 seconds in the main markets and that some buyers report changed and earlier delivery dates.
Apple presented the device in early September, and the energy label filing surfaced on 19 October. According to EL PAÍS, the unveiling was the first Apple Event headed by John Ternus, the company's new leader after 15 years with Tim Cook. Colombian pre-orders began on 16 October, and the phone reaches shelves on 23 October. The sequence leaves Spanish new orders waiting until late January 2027.
On Friday, 23 October, reserved units go out, and everyone else waits for the late-January 2027 slots in Spain. A La Razón columnist expects early reviews and first buyers to test whether the foldable format and its crease justify the trade-offs. LaSexta expects everyday use to rarely exceed a day of battery life, since the 51-hour rating comes from controlled tests. Because the phone is eSIM only, the capacity is expected to be identical in every market where it goes on sale.
