iPhone Duo: Here are all the little details you might have missed
iPhone Duo is the name of Apple’s new foldable model, and it’s perhaps the most fascinating new model since the original iPhone. Here are all the little iPhone Duo details you might have missed.
Apple’s first foldable iPhone was unveiled today ahead of becoming available to order next month.
If you’re looking to buy a new iPhone, you might be very interested in the Duo, but are unsure if it’s right for you.
The tentpole features of iPhone Duo are pretty clear: it’s a foldable, with two displays, great cameras and battery life, and plenty of unique form factor advantages.
But there were a variety of smaller iPhone Duo details revealed both in today’s announcement and on Apple’s website afterwards.
iPhone Duo has a Camera Control button, but is missing the Action button that’s been available on other iPhone models for several years now.
There’s a nano‑texture finish only on the folding iPhone Duo display. You won’t find nano-texture on the outer screen.
Apple says iPhone Duo will support Apple Pencil later this year on both the inner and folding displays. However, currently only the USB-C Pencil model is supported, not the Apple Pencil Pro.
Unlike iPhone 18 Pro, which goes on sale later this week, iPhone Duo won’t be available to order until October 16. It then ships to all users a week later on October 23.
It’s probably not surprising, since iPhone Duo doesn’t ship until late October, but Apple says the new model will run iOS 27.1 when it arrives.
