iPhone Duo Announced: Meet Apple

Apple has officially announced its first foldable smartphone , the iPhone Duo , entering direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 . Designed to resemble a compact iPad when opened, the device features an asymmetrical build with rounded right corners, straight left edges, a horizontal camera bar, and a durable titanium and steel frame. It measures 5.2 mm unfolded and 11.3 mm folded, earning an IP68 dust- and water-resistance rating. The device features two Super Retina XDR OLED displays with 120 Hz ProMotion and peak brightness up to 3,000 nits : an external 5.4-inch panel (2034 x 1398) and a foldable internal 7.6-inch screen (2670 x 1878) featuring an anti-reflective nano-texture finish engineered to eliminate screen creasing. Both screens will support the Apple Pencil USB-C in a planned software update. Under the hood, the iPhone Duo runs on Apples A20 Pro chipset alongside a vapor chamber cooling system to manage thermals. Power efficiency is further assisted by the proprietary Apple C2 modem , enabling up to 24 hours of battery life. The smartphone supports 60 W wired charging and MagSafe wireless charging . The camera system includes dual rear sensors: a 48 MP main camera and a 48 MP ultrawide camera . Selfies rely on an external 12 MP punch-hole camera and an under-display camera on the inner fold. Additional hardware features include: Exclusive eSIM connectivity and 5G support Wi-Fi 7 , Bluetooth 6.0 , and NFC Side-mounted Touch ID sensor USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) port Multitasking-tailored iOS 27 operating system The iPhone Duo launches in the United States on October 23 in black and white finishes.
