iPhone Duo: 1st Impressions Of Apple's $1,999 Foldable
The device features a 7.6-inch inner display, split-screen multitasking and Apple Pencil support, while Apple says battery life reaches 44 hours.
- On Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026, Apple CEO John Ternus unveiled the iPhone Duo at the 'Surprise and Shine' event in Cupertino, Calif. The first foldable iPhone features a passport-sized 5.4-inch display, opening to a 7.6-inch screen.
- Designed with a foldable hinge containing about 100 components, the device eliminates creases between twin displays. Apple says the inner display yields 31 hours of video playback per charge, while the outer lasts 44 hours.
- Priced at $2,999, the iPhone Duo lacks Face ID, requiring users to rely on a side-mounted Touch ID sensor. Global memory shortages and currency fluctuations drive the high cost.
- The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max feature a mechanical variable aperture on the 48-megapixel Fusion camera with six blades "thinner than a human hair." The Pro Max reaches 45 hours of video playback.
- Wearable updates include the Apple Watch Series 12 starting at $549 and the Apple Watch Ultra 4 at $1,099. Both feature enhanced health sensors and Live Rewind, which transcribes recent spoken audio.
