Apple Unveils iPhone Duo Foldable Phone
Apple has launched its long-rumored foldable device, the iPhone Duo, featuring dual displays and Touch ID integrated into the power button. The phone starts at $1,999.
Apple has officially introduced its foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo. The device features a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display with a "nano-texture" finish designed to minimize crease visibility. Unlike previous models, the iPhone Duo utilizes Touch ID, embedded in the power button, instead of Face ID.
The company has revamped iOS 27 to accommodate the foldable form factor, introducing changes such as a side-dock for apps and modified controls. The iPhone Duo is equipped with two cameras: a main lens and a wide-angle lens.
The new foldable phone enters a market with established competitors like Samsung and Google. It comes with a starting price of $1,999 for the 256GB model. Apple has reported "extraordinary" preorder demand, suggesting significant consumer interest despite the premium pricing.
Further details indicate that repair costs for the foldable screen could be substantial, potentially equaling the price of a new iPhone. Preorder fulfillment is also reportedly delayed into 2027.
