The Apple iPhone Duo marks Apple’s monumental official entry into the foldable phone space. Featuring a 5.4-inch external display that opens flat into a gorgeous 7.6-inch flexible inner workspace, the inner screen features a specialized anti-glare nano-texture finish that renders the center fold crease completely flat to the touch. It omits traditional Face ID components entirely, implementing a physical Touch ID scanner inside the side power button for the first time. It supports multi-window Split View layout mechanics and Apple Pencil mapping.

- Supports native Split View multitasking and Apple Pencil inputs.
Cons
- Extremely heavy at 254 grams.
