Apple unveils its first foldable iPhone, the “iPhone Duo,” a device designed around two displays and a flexible inner panel. Multiple outlets describe it as the first iPhone with two screens and Apple’s first device using a flexible, foldable display, with iOS adapting across open, closed, and partially folded positions.
Coverage highlights the Duo’s core design and software features, including flexible layouts, side-mounted controls, and a vertical dock. Several outlets also emphasize how Apple reduces crease visibility with a nano-texture/material approach and maps key camera and FaceTime features across the outer and inner displays. Camera reporting across sources focuses on a dual 48MP rear setup (no telephoto), plus software-driven features such as Smart Take and additional display-based shooting experiences.
Outlets also converge on release and commercial details: pre-orders begin October 16 (5 a.m. Pacific in at least one report) and availability starts October 23 in the U.S. and more than 70 other regions, with later expansion. Pricing is consistently reported as starting at $1,999 for 256GB in the U.S., with higher storage costing more, reaching $3,199 for 2TB. GSMArena additionally compares pricing across regions and notes the closest competitor is Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8.
