Why This Matters

Apple's first fall event under new CEO John Ternus marks its long-awaited entry into foldables with the $1,999 iPhone Duo, putting it directly against Samsung and Chinese rivals that have had years of head start. The iPhone 18 Pro's variable-aperture camera and new pro controls signal Apple leaning harder into photography as its main differentiator, since the design is otherwise unchanged.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) — With new AirPods among the headline announcements, the current AirPods Pro remain the easy-to-grab pick for anyone in Apple's ecosystem. Active noise cancellation, Transparency mode, and instant pairing across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch make them a natural companion to whichever iPhone you upgrade to.

Apple’s first foldable, the iPhone Duo, features a 7.6-inch Retina display when unfolded, while its outer display measures 5.4 inches. The company said that the new device was “Inspired by the versatility of iPad.” The inner display features an “under-display” camera that gives users an all-screen feel.

Apple says the iPhone Duo delivers up to 31 hours of video playback on its inner display and up to 44 hours on its outer display.

The phone features a 48-megapixel fusion main camera and a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera with 2x optical zoom. As with other foldable phones, users can take rear-camera selfies and look at previews on the outer display.

The Duo’s hinge is made from Grade 5 aluminum and comprises more than 100 specially engineered components designed to ensure smooth opening and closing.

The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 with 256GB of storage and is available in two colors. Pre-orders for Apple’s new foldable open October 16, with the device hitting stores on October 23.
