Apple Announces iPhone Duo

At the Apple Special Event earlier today, Apple announced the long-rumored iPhone Duo, the company’s new foldable iPhone.

From the Apple Newsroom website:

Apple today introduced iPhone Duo, the first foldable iPhone. Opened, it is the thinnest iPhone ever, with a 7.6-inch inner display that provides a large canvas for viewing content, gaming, and multitasking, and a special nano-texture finish that minimizes glare for an unparalleled viewing experience. Closed, the 5.4-inch outer display delivers 90 percent of the screen area of iPhone 18 Pro in a compact, pocketable design.1 Both displays share the same aspect ratio, so content scales proportionally, ensuring visual continuity. iPhone Duo is built to last with an innovative hardware design and a precision hinge that offers a smooth, satisfying feel with every use. Powered by the new A20 Pro, iPhone Duo features an advanced thermal management system with a custom-designed vapor chamber and a dual-battery architecture, delivering pro performance and impressive all-day battery life. The advanced camera system takes stunning photos and videos, with the folding design unlocking fun new ways to use the camera that aren’t possible on any other iPhone. iOS 27 is reimagined, remaining familiar and intuitive while adapting to the versatile ways users can interact with iPhone Duo. And with Apple Intelligence2 and Siri AI,3iPhone Duo brings powerful AI capabilities together with a user’s personal context.

The long-rumored iPhone Duo looks to be a pretty interesting phone and is one that I am very interested in checking out once it’s released.

The new iPhone Duo Folio case looks pretty neat, as well, as it feautres a built-in kickstand that can be used to hold the phone up when it’s open.

The iPhone Duo will be availalbe in two colors - star white and night sky - with pricign starting at $1,999 for the 256 GB version of the device (with options including 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB). iPhone Duo pre-orders begin on Friday, October 16th, with availability beginning on Friday, October 23th.
