Apple's iPhone Duo debut offers sleek foldable design with premium features
Apple introduced the iPhone Duo, a foldable handset with a 5.4-inch outer OLED and a 7.6-inch inner flexible display, praised for its design but noted as heavier than competing models.
Apple's latest foldable, the iPhone Duo, features a 5.4-inch external OLED panel and a 7.6-inch flexible OLED interior, echoing the concept of the original Pixel Fold but with a more refined chassis. The phone's titanium body provides IP68 dust and water resistance, yet its dimensions—11.3 mm thick and 254 grams—make it noticeably heavier than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. Inside, a matte nano texture reduces reflections and conceals the subtle crease, while an under-display FaceTime camera sensor remains invisible until needed, a feature Samsung abandoned after 2021.
Transition animations between screens are smooth, and the device supports Apple Pencil input across both displays, though the reviewer lacked a Pencil to evaluate performance. Overall, the iPhone Duo stands out as Apple's most intriguing device in nearly a decade, despite its size and weight drawbacks.
