Apple introduces its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo
Apple has launched the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, featuring a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.4-inch outer screen. The device uses grade 5 titanium construction, IP68 water resistance, and a Touch ID sensor built into the side button, with Apple Pencil support planned for later this year.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This marks Apple's formal entry into the foldable phone category, an area long dominated by Samsung and other Android manufacturers. The Duo's design choices—crease-reducing texture, adaptive iOS behavior for multiple orientations, and reimagined Standby mode—signal Apple's attempt to differentiate its foldable from existing competitors rather than simply copy the format.
- iPhone Duo features dual displays: 7.6-inch inner and 5.4-inch outer screens.
- Touch ID is built into the side button instead of a traditional Face ID setup.
- Apple Pencil support and Split View multitasking are designed specifically for the folding form factor.
Apple Pencil Pro — With Apple Pencil support coming to the iPhone Duo's 7.6-inch inner display, having a Pencil ready means you can sketch and mark up documents on that big foldable canvas. The Pencil Pro adds squeeze gestures, barrel roll and hover for finer control, and it magnetically attaches for charging and storage.
