iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable, debuts

techSep 9, 202619123

Apple on Wednesday unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone that opens like a book to a 7.6-inch inner display and starts at $1,999. CEO John Ternus introduced the device at Apple’s Cupertino event, calling it the largest display ever on an iPhone while still pocketable; Greg Joswiak said the phone uses a titanium build and initially ships in star white and night sky. Apple described the Duo as two screens: an internal 7.6-inch panel and an external display about 90 percent the surface area of an iPhone Pro, with video and apps usable even when not fully unfolded. Craig Federighi demonstrated Split View multitasking and the ability to run two windows of the same app, and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported the Duo will support Apple Pencil. The phone restores a side-mounted Touch ID authentication button, uses an integrated magnet array for closure, and houses two batteries that operate as one; Apple estimates 31 hours of video playback on the inner screen, 44 hours on the outer display, and 24 hours using both equally. Apple said preorders begin Oct. 16 and the iPhone Duo will be available in stores Oct. 23.
