iPhone Duo Announced by Apple, with 7.6″ Foldable Display

Sep 9, 2026 - Leave a Comment

Apple has revealed the all-new iPhone Duo as part of the iPhone 18 lineup, featuring a dramatic new design with a foldable screen. When closed, the device looks much like a standard iPhone, but that iPhone transforms into an iPad mini-like device when opened, and is sure to be a popular mobile form factor moving forward. The iPhone Duo is a premium device and priced accordingly.

Separately, Apple also released the iPhone 18 Pro, along with new AirPods Pro, and new Apple Watch models.

iPhone Duo Features

The highlight feature is obviously the 7.6″ display that is visible when folding open the iPhone, but the closed screen on the outside measures a nice 5.4″ as well. The display is OLED and likely has PWM, like other OLED iPhone models.

In hand and when closed, the iPhone looks and behaves much like a standard iPhone. But unlike a standard iPhone, it can be opened and expanded into a larger expansive display that then performs much like a small iPad.

iPhone Duo features most of the same underlying tech as the iPhone 18 Pro series, including the new speedy A20 Pro processor.

There’s a front-facing camera for FaceTime and selfies, as well as two rear 48mp cameras including a standard lens and 2x telephoto lens. (personally I wish there were three cameras, including a third wide-angle lens just like iPhone 18 Pro, but maybe that will be included next time around).

iPhone Duo is available in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB storage sizes, and in silver and black color options.

The foldable iPhone Duo screen offers some unique options for Standby mode as well, taking advantage of its dual-display form.

iPhone Duo includes Touch ID on the power/lock button for authentication.

The device supports fast-charging, significant battery that features up to 44 hour battery life using the outer display, and 24 hour battery life of using both displays.

iPhone Duo Pricing & Availability

Pricing on iPhone Duo is nearly twice that of iPhone 18 Pro models, starting at $1999 for the 256GB model, $2199 for the 512GB model, and up to $3199 for the 2TB model.
