Apple announces first foldable iPhone Duo with 7.6-inch inner screen at $1,999 starting price
↗
Apple has announced its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, featuring a 5.4-inch outer screen, a 7.6-inch inner screen, two rear cameras, Touch ID authentication, an IP68 rating, and Apple Pencil support, with preorders starting October 16th and availability on October 23rd.
The iPhone Duo enters the foldable market at a premium $1,999 entry point with a deliberately basic camera setup, mirroring Samsung's mainstream foldable strategy rather than competing on pro-level photography. Its 1.4:1 aspect ratio and Apple Pencil support position it as both a phone and a compact tablet replacement, potentially displacing the iPad Mini for some workflows.

The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 for 256GB, with preorders on October 16th and availability on October 23rd.
The device uses Touch ID rather than Face ID and carries only two rear cameras, placing it below Apple's Pro line in imaging capability.
Verge staff drew direct comparisons to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, noting similar form factor and camera tradeoffs but a $100 price premium for the Duo.
