On September 10, 2026, Apple introduced the iPhone Duo — its first-ever foldable iPhone and the biggest design shift for the lineup since the original. Here is the complete feature breakdown for wholesalers and accessory buyers.
The iPhone Duo uses a horizontal book-style fold. Closed, it is a familiar phone with a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR cover display; opened, it becomes a 7.6-inch tablet-class canvas. Apple says the inner panel is 80% larger than the iPhone 18 Pro's screen.
Both displays run 120Hz ProMotion with Always-On support and up to 3000 nits of peak outdoor brightness. The inner screen uses a custom nano-texture finish that reduces reflections and makes the crease far less visible, and it hides a FaceTime camera under the display for a true full-screen look. The outer screen keeps a Ceramic Shield front.
At its core is the A20 Pro chip built on TSMC's 2nm process, paired with 12GB of RAM. Apple claims up to 35% better sustained performance than the iPhone 17 Pro, supported by a custom vapor-chamber cooling system. A new C2 modem adds Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and mmWave 5G.
The rear system pairs a 48MP Fusion main sensor with a 48MP Fusion ultra-wide. Rather than a dedicated telephoto lens, Apple leans on computational photography for zoom. Video tops out at 4K at 120fps with Dolby Vision.
A dual-cell battery delivers up to 31 hours of video playback on the inner screen or 44 hours on the cover screen. Wired charging reaches 50% in about 20 minutes; wireless MagSafe charging is supported. For accessory makers, the MagSafe alignment is the detail that matters most.
The frame is Grade 5 titanium. The hinge alone uses more than 100 precision components and Apple's variable-torque design, which the company says cuts crease visibility dramatically. The phone is 11.3mm folded and just 5.2mm unfolded, weighing 254g, with an IP68 rating.
iOS 27 adds Split View for side-by-side apps, app pairs, and StandBy that works even when not plugged in. "Duo Preview" lets the subject see the shot on the outer screen before you capture it.
