Overview
- Apple launched the iPhone Duo as its first foldable, trading a 5.4‑inch outer screen for a 7.6‑inch inner display with a matte 'Nanotextur' surface that reduces reflections and makes the crease less visible.
- Reviewers praised the hinge feel, inner display and A20 Pro performance but flagged the device's 254‑gram weight, 11.3 mm closed thickness, and tendency to warm under heavy load as real ergonomics compromises.
- The Duo replaces Face ID with a side‑mounted Touch ID sensor, omits an Action button, and moves the volume buttons to the top edge with an iOS option to dynamically remap them for different orientations.
- Camera choices lower the photography ceiling: dual 48MP main and ultra‑wide sensors are provided but no dedicated telephoto lens exists so 2x zoom is a cropped result, and the under‑display selfie camera lags in image quality.
- Pricing and market position sharpen the debate about value as reviewers noted in coverage published Oct. 29–30 that the Duo starts at €2,299 for 256 GB and faces direct comparison with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold line on app optimization and multitasking.
