Apple’s new iPhone lineup includes the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Duo, the company’s first foldable phone.
The iPhone Duo opens to a 7.6-inch Super Retina display, giving users considerably more screen space than the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Fold it closed and a 5.4-inch outer display handles the usual calls, messages, apps, and other everyday tasks without needing to open the phone.
Apple built the foldable around a titanium frame with added carbon-fiber support around the hinge and display. The screen itself uses a multi-layer laminated design with a stiff polymer layer for added scratch resistance, while the hinge was developed to help cut down on the visible crease that has become common on foldable phones.
The front camera sits underneath the display instead of using the familiar cutout found on recent iPhones. That change means Face ID is gone on the Duo, with Touch ID returning through the side button instead. Apple Watch can also be used to unlock the phone. Around back, Apple uses a pair of 48MP Fusion cameras.
Having two usable displays also changes how multitasking works on the iPhone. Two apps can run next to each other, and users can open more than one instance of the same app. Partially folding the device also causes content to move away from the hinge area so it remains easier to see and use.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max stick with a more familiar design while bringing updates to battery life, charging, and storage. Both models now start with 256GB, with pricing set at $1,199 for the iPhone 18 Pro and $1,299 for the larger Pro Max.
Apple rates the iPhone 18 Pro for up to 36 hours of video playback, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max reaches up to 45 hours. Faster charging can bring either model to around 50 percent in 15 minutes.
Black, Glacier, Burgundy, and Silver make up the iPhone 18 Pro color lineup. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max release September 18, starting at $1,199 and $1,299. The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999, with preorders opening October 16 ahead of its October 23 release.
