Apple launches its first foldable device, the iPhone Duo, featuring a 7.6-inch inner screen, advanced camera system, and a premium titanium build, signalling its entry into the high-end foldable segment.
Apple has entered the foldable phone market with the iPhone Duo, a device that pairs a 7.6-inch inner display with a 5.4-inch outer screen. According to Apple’s product page, the handset is built around a titanium and ceramic chassis, and is offered in Star White and Night Sky. The company positions it as a premium device rather than a niche experiment, with multitasking through split-screen support and Apple Pencil compatibility.
The iPhone Duo is powered by the A20 Pro chip, which Apple says is intended to improve performance and efficiency. Its imaging system combines a 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera with a 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens, and it can record 4K video at 120 frames per second. Those specifications place the phone firmly in the upper end of Apple’s smartphone range, with the hardware broadly aligned to the company’s latest Pro-tier ambitions.
Pricing underscores that positioning. Apple lists the iPhone Duo at $1,999, with pre-orders due to begin on 16 October 2026 and shipping scheduled for 23 October 2026. The launch marks a significant shift for a company that has so far stayed out of the foldable category, and it puts Apple into direct competition with established rivals in a segment where display design, durability and software adaptation remain central concerns.
