Apple Finally Folds: Meet the $2,000 iPhone Duo
After years of watching everyone else play with origami, Apple has finally dropped the iPhone Duo. It is expensive, it is late to the party, and naturally, the company expects everyone to lose their minds over a crease in the middle of the screen.
The iPhone Duo debuts as a book-style foldable, sporting a 5.4-inch outer display that expands into a 7.6-inch tablet-like workspace. Apple has ditched Face ID entirely, opting for a Touch ID sensor embedded directly into the power button, a move that feels like a trip back to 2018 in the best way possible.
Under the hood, the device packs an A20 Pro chip built on a 2nm process and a custom C2 modem for connectivity. The camera setup skips a telephoto lens, sticking to dual 48-megapixel sensors on the back, while the selfie game is handled by two 12-megapixel shooters, one of which hides stealthily beneath the folding panel.
iOS 27 has been tweaked to handle the split-screen multitasking and drag-and-drop operations, and yes, there is finally support for the Apple Pencil. The device hits shelves in white and dark blue with a starting price of $2,000 for the 256GB model, with deliveries scheduled for late October.
Paying a premium price to be a beta tester for a hinge that will inevitably collect pocket lint is the ultimate status symbol in the modern era. Whether this is an engineering marvel or just a desperate attempt to inflate the average selling price, the market will decide once the inevitable bend tests start flooding the web.
