The company that first customised the iPhone in 2007 turns Apple’s first foldable into 24K gold, rose gold and platinum finishes, with gemstone-encrusted Apple logos

DUBAI, UAE / LONDON, UK – 20 October 2026 – Goldgenie, the first company in the world to customise the iPhone when it launched in 2007, has opened reservations for the Luxury iPhone Duo Collection: Apple’s first foldable iPhone, handcrafted in 24K gold, rose gold or a platinum finish.

Apple’s iPhone Duo goes on sale on 23 October from £1,999. Goldgenie customises each device individually by hand, and buyers can finish it with a Signature Gemstone-Encrusted Apple logo in diamond, ruby, blue sapphire, emerald, citrine, amethyst or aquamarine.

“We customised the very first iPhone in 2007, and the iPhone Duo is the biggest change to its design since then,” said Laban Roomes, founder of Goldgenie. “Our clients don’t want what everyone else will be carrying on Friday. They want the version nobody else has. An iPhone Duo in 24K gold with a diamond- or sapphire-encrusted Apple logo is exactly that.”
