Exciting news for Apple enthusiasts in Indonesia! The highly anticipated iPhone Duo is set to arrive in the country shortly, as confirmed by Erajaya Digital's CEO, Joy Wahjudi. This marks Apple's first foldable smartphone, and followers of the brand won’t have to wait much longer for its debut.
Confirmation from Erajaya's CEO
During the launch event for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in Jakarta, Joy Wahjudi signaled that an announcement about the iPhone Duo is imminent. "The iPhone Duo is coming soon. It's actually just around the corner," Joy stated during the iBox Pick & Win event on October 16, 2026. This statement has heightened anticipation among potential buyers.
Launch Timeline and Expectations
When pressed for a specific launch date, Joy remained cautious but hinted that the wait would not be long. He suggested that the announcement could happen in a matter of days rather than weeks, which has fans eagerly speculating about the exact timing. Apple commenced preorders for the iPhone Duo in several first-wave countries on October 16, 2026, with official sales set to begin on October 23, 2026. Although Indonesia is not part of this initial wave, Erajaya is optimistic that the iPhone Duo will not be delayed significantly.
Preorder and Launch Details
Joy explained that, typically, Apple launches in Indonesia begin with preorders, followed by official sales about a week later. "We usually see a preorder followed by a launch within a week," he elaborated. While Joy has yet to confirm specific dates for the preorder or official launch of the iPhone Duo in Indonesia, he assured that information will be made available soon.
Special Launch Event and Premium Offerings
Erajaya is also planning a special event to celebrate the arrival of the iPhone Duo, although the scale and format of the event will depend on the premium segment this foldable smartphone targets. "There will definitely be an event, but we will assess the magnitude based on the market for premium foldable devices," Joy mentioned. Additionally, Erajaya intends to provide special services for consumers interested in purchasing this innovative smartphone. However, specific details about these services have not yet been disclosed.
Pricing and Market Position
One major question on everyone's mind is the official pricing of the iPhone Duo in Indonesia, especially since it is aimed at a more premium market compared to the iPhone 18 Pro Series. In the United States, the starting price for the iPhone Duo is set at $1,999 for the base model with 256 GB storage. This pricing is considerably higher than that of the iPhone Pro Series. However, when asked about the potential selling price in Indonesia, Joy refrained from giving any hints. "I cannot provide any details at this moment," he said.
With the latest signals from Erajaya, Indonesian consumers can look forward to official announcements regarding preorder dates, pricing, and availability of the iPhone Duo through iBox soon.
