iPhone Duo: Details

 

The iPhone Duo has a 5.4-inch outer Super Retina XDR display and a 7.6-inch inner Super Retina XDR display. Both displays support ProMotion, Always-On and up to 3,000 nits of outdoor brightness. A nano-texture finish on the inner display is designed to reduce glare, reflections and the visibility of the crease. The inner FaceTime camera sits underneath the display.

 

The phone uses a Grade 5 titanium construction, Ceramic Shield on the back and Ceramic Shield 2 on the front, along with an IP68 rating for dust and water ingress resistance. TouchID is built into the side button.

 

Apple has redesigned iOS 27 for the foldable, with the interface adapting as the phone is opened, closed or held at different angles. Split View allows two apps to run side by side, while users can also save pairs of apps for quick access.

 

The iPhone Duo uses the A20 Pro chip, a custom vapour chamber and a dual-battery design. Apple claims up to 31 hours of video playback on the inner display and up to 44 hours on the outer display. It can charge to 50 per cent in around 20 minutes.

 

The camera system includes a 48MP Fusion Main camera with integrated 2x telephoto and a 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera. Smart Take uses on-device AI to automatically capture a photo when the subjects are properly framed. The foldable design also allows users to preview photos on the outer display while using the rear cameras for selfies. Video recording goes up to 4K at 120 frames per second (fps) with Dolby Vision.

 

The phone is eSIM-only worldwide and includes Apple's C2 modem, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread. Apple will add support for Apple Pencil with USB-C on both displays later this year.
