Apple unveiling a foldable iPhone in September this year was probably the worst-kept secret of 2026. For the past few months, the rumour mill has been buzzing with news that Apple would finally unveil the first-ever foldable iPhone, and it’s finally here.
It’s called the iPhone Duo and its specs are in line with expectations. It has a 5.4-inch outer screen, and it unfolds to reveal a 7.6-inch main display. Both displays are, as you’d expect from a flagship Apple device, beautiful to behold.
The outer display is 5.4 inches or roughly 90% the size of the iPhone 18 Pro.

It also means that, physically, it’s very comparable to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8. Indeed, I’ve been living with a Galaxy Z Fold8 for the past week in anticipation of the iPhone Duo, and I can confirm that the two feel quite similar in the hands. The key difference, however, is that the Fold8 feels lighter and slimmer, while the Duo feels chunkier and more substantial.
Apple is also keen to point out that both the outer and main display share the same aspect ratio, so content should scale and render appropriately. Unsurprisingly, in my short time with the phone, trying only the native Apple apps, everything looks as it should. One-handed operation of the cover screen is doable, though the aspect ratio of the cover screen makes the display more squarish than we are used to from iPhones. I also like that the outer display is curved on one side to make it easy to see which side to open the Duo from.
