All the news about the iPhone Duo

Apple has officially announced the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone featuring a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner screen. The device is priced starting at $1,999 and includes a revamped iOS 27 interface.
Why it matters
Apple's entry into the foldable market signals a major shift in their hardware strategy and attempts to compete with established foldable devices from Samsung and Google.
Apple has finally announced its long-rumored foldable: the iPhone Duo . The new phone has a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display, a “nano‑texture” finish on the inner screen, and barely any visible crease. Instead of Face ID, it uses Touch ID on the power button. It has two cameras, a main lens and a wide-angle lens. Apple completely revamped iOS 27’s controls and apps for the foldable, including putting the dock on the side of the phone. And it has a flashy opening animation when you unfold the phone. The iPhone Duo a big new bet from Apple, though one that’s a little late to the game compared to competitors like Samsung and Google. The phone isn’t cheap: it starts at $1,999 for the base 256GB model, and the prices only go up from there.
