Overview
- Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo on Wednesday, Sept. 9, announcing preorders from Oct. 16 and shipments beginning Oct. 23 in Germany.
- The Duo folds like a passport and features a 5.4‑inch outer OLED and a 7.6‑inch inner OLED, a matte nanotexture finish meant to hide the crease, and a titanium frame.
- Apple fitted the Duo with the new A20 Pro chip optimized for local AI workloads and paired dual batteries and fast charging to target all‑day use.
- To achieve the thin, tablet‑like body Apple accepted trade‑offs: no Face ID, Touch ID in the power button, a 2x optical‑quality zoom only, and eSIM‑only worldwide.
- Starting at €2,299, the Duo is aimed at affluent users who want an iPad‑like screen in one device, and analysts at IDC predict Apple could lead the small foldable segment within a year while the category itself remains about 2% of global phone sales.
