iPhone Duo omits telephoto lens and variable aperture despite $2,000+ price
↗
Apple's foldable iPhone Duo ships with only a 48MP main and 48MP ultra-wide rear camera, missing the dedicated telephoto and variable aperture found on Pro models.
Apps that depend on optical zoom or variable aperture hardware will not find those capabilities on the Duo, despite its premium price. The phone relies on software-based digital zoom from its 48MP sensor, which degrades image quality at longer focal lengths compared to a true telephoto lens.
