Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo includes a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display, powered by the A20 Pro chip. It introduces iOS 27, which adapts app layouts for the larger screens and includes a 'standby mode' that functions like a smart display. The iPhone Duo is the first iPhone to support Apple Pencil, with compatibility expected later this year.
“Apple's new foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, with a 5.4-inch outer display, a 7.6-inch inner display, was announced today with an A20 Pro chip, a new display engine, and Touch ID.”
“iOS 27 also has a unique standby mode for the Duo that basically turns it into a smart display.”
“iPhone Duo is also the first iPhone to support Apple Pencil, and you can use it on either the outer or inner display, though the feature might not be available at launch as Apple press releases say it will support Apple Pencil with USB C late this year, and quote.”
