Explore iPhone Duo

iPhone Duo features an advanced camera system that enables all-new experiences made possible by its breakthrough design. The 48MP Fusion Main camera shoots sharp photos with zero shutter lag, and users can get closer to the subject with an integrated optical-quality 2x Telephoto. The 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera captures wider fields of view and enables macro photography, while the Center Stage front camera can automatically take photos and videos in any orientation, so users don't have to rotate iPhone for landscape selfies. A new FaceTime camera placed underneath the inner display helps users connect with friends and family, whether iPhone Duo is held open or propped on a surface for hands-free calls.
The expansive display on iPhone Duo supercharges productivity with Split View multitasking and seamless app switching, and a reimagined yet familiar iOS experience introduces entirely new ways to interact with iPhone. iOS also adapts to content on iPhone Duo by reacting as it folds, reorienting when turned to the side, and switching to the appropriate display when flipped over. iPhone Duo can also enter StandBy on either the outer or inner display - even when it's not charging - turning the device into a photo frame, a hub for widgets, a clock, and more.

Siri AI is an entirely new version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence - profoundly more personal, capable, and conversational, with personal context understanding, broad world knowledge, and onscreen awareness to help users find what they need and get things done. Rolling out in beta in English with iOS 27, Siri AI is even more useful on the large inner display, where iPhone Duo users can keep Siri open alongside an app and ask about what's onscreen. And with Siri mode in Camera, users can get information and take action on what's in front of them.
iPhone Duo is splash-, water-, and dust-resistant with an IP68 rating,5 and is available in two refined colors: star white and night sky.
