Apple Unveils Its First Foldable iPhone: The iPhone Duo
Apple has officially launched its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo. Featuring a dual-display design with a 5.4-inch outer screen and a 7.6-inch inner display, it includes a nano-texture finish on the internal screen to reduce glare and an IP68-rated folding mechanism that is nearly crease-free. The device uses Touch ID instead of Face ID for security and comes equipped with two cameras: a main lens and a wide-angle lens. The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 for 256GB storage, positioning it as an expensive but premium offering in the foldable market. Despite its late entry compared to competitors like Samsung and Google, Apple reported 'extraordinary' preorder demand, with delivery estimates already delayed into early 2027 due to high consumer interest. The phone's battery capacity is rated at 4,883mAh—larger than those in Samsung’s foldables but smaller than some models from Oppo and Honor. Apple plans for the iPhone Duo to launch on October 23, with availability also expected in stores.
