Apple has officially entered the foldable smartphone arena with the long-rumored iPhone Duo, a device featuring a 5.4-inch outer display and a sprawling 7.6-inch inner screen. The new hardware relies on a nano-texture finish for the inner display to combat glare and minimizes the visible screen crease significantly. Instead of traditional Face ID, Apple integrated a Touch ID sensor directly into the power button on the edge of the device.
Under the hood, the foldable runs on the A20 Pro chipset, matching the processing power of the iPhone 18 Pro. The camera array consists of a main lens and a wide-angle lens, utilizing a 48-megapixel fusion camera. Apple also redesigned portions of iOS 27 to accommodate the unique form factor, featuring layout adjustments like a side-mounted dock and a custom opening animation when unfolding the hardware.
Pricing for the base 256GB model begins at $1,999, scaling upward depending on configuration. Despite the high price tag, Apple reported extraordinary early pre-order demand, resulting in delivery timelines slipping into the following year shortly after orders opened. Consumers hoping to avoid online delivery delays may find limited inventory available in physical retail locations when the device officially arrives in stores.
