The tech giant's radical redesign arrives with a premium price tag and updated Pro models.
Apple has unveiled the iPhone Duo, a folding smartphone that represents the company's most significant redesign in years, as Wired first reported. The device features a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner screen with a custom nano-texture finish to minimize crease visibility and glare.
The iPhone Duo enters the market at a premium price of $1,999. It joins the iPhone 18 Pro, priced at $1,199, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max, priced at $1,299. Wired notes that Apple has increased the cost of the Pro models by $100 compared to the iPhone 17 Pro series.
All three models are powered by the A20 Pro chip, which Apple claims is its most powerful processor to date, offering a 30 percent increase in efficiency and a 20 percent boost in performance over the previous generation. The devices also feature Super Retina XDR OLED displays with ProMotion technology and are equipped with Ceramic Shield 2 glass.
While the Pro models are available for preorder on September 12 and ship on September 18, the iPhone Duo will be available for preorder starting October 16, with a full market release scheduled for October 23.
