iPhone Duo has a 7.6-inch screen when opened
The highly anticipated product, iPhone Duo, was officially introduced by Apple at the "Surprise and Shine" event.
As previously reported, Apple's first folding screen iPhone model has a butterfly-shaped design, with a square screen instead of the traditional long-bar screen style.
iPhone Duo has a 5.4-inch exterior screen, when expanded it reaches 7.6 inches. Users can fold the device perpendicularly to use as a laptop. When switching to this state, the interface on the device automatically adjusts to suit the usage.
Apple says the screen supports experiences in both horizontal and vertical modes. The interface is supplemented with visual motion effects, while maintaining a consistent frame ratio between the outer screen and the inner screen. FaceTime camera is hidden under the inner screen.
Many features specifically for foldable screens
iPhone Duo allows users to open different applications or multiple windows of the same application in parallel.
When rotating the machine vertically, users can record video at the top and open the group chat box at the bottom. The interface also changes automatically depending on the usage, such as laptop mode or expansion mode.
The screen is designed to limit folds
The screen on iPhone Duo uses a multi-layered overlapping structure. The surface layer has a nano structure, is covered with a hard polymer layer and a coating designed by Apple.
According to Apple, this structure helps increase scratch resistance and reduce folding at the folded screen position.
Using A20 Pro chip, C2 modem
iPhone Duo is equipped with A20 Pro chip, similar to iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
The machine also has a steam room cooling system and a C2 mobile modem developed by Apple itself. Apple said the C2 modem helps iPhone Duo reconnect to mobile networks faster in areas with weak signals.
Globally, iPhone Duo only uses eSIM, thereby taking advantage of the space inside the device to support extending battery life.
iPhone Duo has a battery life of up to 24 hours when using both screens at an equivalent level. The device supports fast charging, reaching 50% battery in about 20 minutes. After 5 minutes of charging, the device can play video continuously for up to 5 hours on the external screen.
iPhone Duo has two colors: Star White and Night Sky. Apple priced iPhone Duo from $1,999, with capacity versions from 256GB to 2TB. The company also said that there will be incentives when users exchange old devices.
Apple started receiving pre-orders from October 16 and the product officially appeared on the market from October 23.
