Apple's foldable phone is finally here — well, almost. The iPhone Duo, coming October 23rd, follows in the footsteps of past folding devices from Android phone makers like Samsung, OnePlus, and Google, with a $1,999 price tag that sits just above the Pixel 11 Pro Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 8.
While its hardware bears similarities to its competitors, the iPhone Duo is one of a few models that takes a passport-like approach. The aspect ratio is the same on the inside and outside screens, and it's even usable with some apps while partially folded. The interior screen has a special outer layer, which along with its hinge design, makes the interior crease almost impossible to spot (something that many competitors struggle to do, though Samsung and Oppo are making fantastic progress).
We got a chance to spend some time with the iPhone Duo at Apple's “Surprise and shine†event, so our hands-on is a great place to start if you want to learn more about how it actually feels to use. We'll be continuing to cover the phone as we get closer to launch, so make sure to stay tuned for our full review down the road.
Comparing specs between foldables from Apple and Android makers isn't always one-to-one, just like comparing slab-style phones. However, we think it's still useful to present all the specs from the iPhone Duo's most similar competitors.
