Apple has rolled out a weekly online poll to assess potential buyers for its upcoming iPhone Duo, as well as the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The initiative aims to capture consumer sentiment across price points, design innovations, and feature sets.
The Duo, Apple’s first foldable, is priced at ₹2,99,900 in India, making it one of the most expensive foldable phones on the market. In contrast, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is attracting attention for its superior camera array, faster chipset, and larger 4,500 mAh battery.
Analysis of the poll shows that 45% of participants are considering either the Duo or the Pro Max, while only 30% favor the standard iPhone 18 Pro. This split suggests that while foldables remain a niche, high‑end flagship models continue to dominate buyer interest.
