Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone Duo and the iPhone 18 Pro line will both use the new A20 Pro chip, built with an 'M-class-inspired' packaging design borrowed from Mac processors. To manage heat in the foldable's tight, hinge-divided chassis, Apple engineered a graphite thermal pathway that runs through the hinge itself to spread heat away from the chip. Apple silicon engineering VP Dan Murray and thermal design manager Banafsheh Barabadi described the design choices to accommodate one chip across two very different phone shapes.

Apple executives Dan Murray and Banafsheh Barabadi described to PCMag how the iPhone Duo's foldable design required new thermal engineering, including a flexible graphite pipe built into the hinge and a new 'metal over foam' material that links the A20 Pro chip to its vapor chamber. The A20 Pro, Apple's first 2nm iPhone chip, also gets a second display engine in the Duo variant to run both screens at once and support a FaceTime camera placed behind the inner display.
