About
iPhone Duo is Apple's first foldable iPhone, announced in September 2026. It has an inner folding display and an outer display, and it runs iOS 27.1 on the A20 Pro chip. Apple's announcement describes on-device AI models running on A20 Pro for camera features, and Apple Intelligence support at the OS level.
The camera software uses the outer display in several ways. Smart Take automatically captures photos when subjects are posing. Duo Preview shows a live preview to the people being photographed. Kid Cue plays Peanuts animations to get children's attention. Duo FaceTime lets people with the user join a video call on the outer display. Creators noted that the camera is weaker than on the Pro models and that the device unfolds into something like an iPad mini.
It is sold in star white and night sky, in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB capacities, from $1,999 (U.S.). Pre-orders opened October 16 and general availability began October 23 in more than 70 countries and regions, with 28 more following on October 30.
