The iPhone Duo is Apple's first folding iPhone, announced on 9 September 2026. It suits people who want a phone and a small tablet in one device. The one thing to know: it is not the best iPhone for photography, and no independent review exists yet because it has not shipped.

When can you buy the iPhone Duo, and what does it cost?

  • Pre-orders open on 16 October 2026; it reaches stores on 23 October in more than 70 countries.
  • List price from $1,999 for 256GB, up to $3,199 for 2TB (Apple, September 2026).

What do you get for the money?

  • A 5.4-inch outer display that opens book-style into a 7.6-inch inner display, both 120Hz OLED.
  • 5.2 mm thin when open, with a titanium frame and IP68 water resistance.
  • The A20 Pro chip; Apple claims up to 24 hours of typical use.

What does it give up against the iPhone 18 Pro?

It is also the heaviest iPhone at 254 g, has no variable aperture and is eSIM-only.

Should you pre-order or wait?

Wait for the first independent reviews if you can: nobody outside Apple has judged the crease or the hinge yet.
