In case you missed it, Apple just unveiled its first foldable design with the iPhone Duo. As the brand’s first-ever foldable phone, fans and tech enthusiasts are excited to see how it’ll hold up and wow users with its innovative design and features.
However, it is not as affordable as you might expect. The starting price for the iPhone Duo is P160,000—definitely a hefty price to pay for those who want to get a glimpse of the brand’s first foldable phone of its kind or those who are just planning to upgrade their older phones.
While missing out on the newest foldable iPhone may break your heart for a moment, here’s everything you can buy for P160,000! (Disclaimer: This may sound absurd, but you might understand why.)
