Apple has officially unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, and AirPods 5 at its recent event. Comparing published specs, the iPhone Duo closely mirrors Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 in screen size and brightness, but differs in resolution, weight, chip, and camera setup, with Apple's device notably heavier at 254g versus Samsung's 201g. The iPhone Duo launches October 23, though Apple has not yet disclosed battery capacity.

It's priced at $29 and comes in six colors including Burgundy, Crisp Blue, and Black.

A 2009 demo video of Microsoft's abandoned Courier prototype is drawing renewed attention for its resemblance to Apple's rumored iPhone Duo foldable design.
