Apple has officially launched the iPhone Duo, the company’s first foldable iPhone. The launch is therefore one of the biggest design shifts since the original iPhone arrived. Plus the iPhone Duo features a revolutionary foldable design which is durable and flexible. It’s the thinnest iPhone ever made when opened. It also has a massive 7.6-inch inner display that’s perfect for gaming, streaming and multitasking. The outer 5.4-inch display, meanwhile, offers 90 percent of the screen area of the iPhone 18 Pro, but fits comfortably in a pocket.
Interestingly, both displays share the same aspect ratio. This means that content scale nicely on both screens. Moreover, a special nano-texture finish reduces glare, improving visibility in bright settings. The device also features a precision-engineered hinge, so you’ll always be in for a smooth and satisfying fold.
Smart design. Powerful performance.
Under the hood, the iPhone Duo is powered by Apple’s new A20 Pro chip. Thus, it offers excellent performance with advanced thermal management. In particular, a custom vapor chamber keeps the device cool when demanding tasks are performed. Plus, dual-battery architecture keeps you powered for all-day reliability. And the cutting-edge camera system unlocks a universe of photography experiences no other iPhone can offer today.
Meanwhile iOS 27 has been redesigned for this foldable form factor. But it still has that familiar interface that users know. Apple also unveiled its next-generation Siri AI, which is powered by Apple Intelligence. That means iPhone Duo users can now get highly personalized and conversational AI assistance right on their devices.
Pricing, Colors & Availability
The iPhone Duo will be available in two stylish finishes: star white and nite sky. Pre-orders go live officially on Friday, October 16. Starting on Friday, October 23, it will be available in all major global markets.
Talking about the launch, John Ternus, CEO of Apple, expressed his thoughts:
“iPhone Duo is the most transformational change to iPhone since the original. With an entirely new design and intuitive experiences, it shows what’s possible when hardware and software are engineered together and redefines what it means to use a foldable phone,” said John Ternus, Apple’s CEO. “With the largest display ever on iPhone that still fits easily in your pocket, combined with the power of A20 Pro, iPhone Duo helps you stay more immersed and productive wherever you go, whether you’re enjoying content, multitasking across apps, or gaming.”
Overall, the iPhone Duo signals Apple’s bold entry into foldable technology. Ultimately, it combines cutting-edge hardware, intelligent software, and refined design into a single, groundbreaking device.
