Apple revealed its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, at the Surprise and Shine event on September 9th at 7PM Italian time. It opens to 7.6 inches and folds to 5.4, starting at $1,999 for 256GB. Pre-orders begin October 16th and it ships on the 23rd, with local pricing and dates to be announced soon.
The shape sits closer to a passport than a phone. Squared corners at the hinge, curved edges on the opposite side. The frame is aerospace-grade titanium, and the hinge blends titanium with aluminium. Two colors arrive: Star White and Night Sky.
The display wears a nanotexture matte finish that kills glare. The inner selfie camera hides beneath the screen. The 48MP main camera carries a 2x telephoto, and the outer screen alone runs video for up to 44 hours. Face ID is gone, replaced by Touch ID in the side button.
Foldables are no longer Android territory alone. Apple has entered the race, and the foldable market now faces a new chapter. Have you been waiting for an iPhone that folds?
