Apple has introduced its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, at its annual event held at its headquarters in California.
"iPhone Duo is unlike any iPhone you've experienced before," the presentation package's voiceover announced on Wednesday.
The device features an asymmetric design that unfolds into a 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR display.
This inner screen is 50 percent larger than the iPhone 18 Pro Max and 80 percent larger than the standard Pro model, both also introduced during the event.
When fully opened, the device is billed as the thinnest iPhone ever produced, utilising an aerospace-grade titanium frame to maintain structural strength.
Apple also unveiled a sophisticated camera system, featuring a 48-megapixel Fusion main camera with zero shutter lag.
The company announced that the iPhone Duo supports 4K 120 fps video and 4K Dolby Vision HDR time-lapses. For durability, Apple confirmed the device is IP68-rated for dust and water resistance, and utilises Ceramic Shield 2 on the front display for enhanced scratch protection.
Pricing starts at $1,999 with storage options up to 2TB; the iPhone Duo will be available for pre-order on October 16, with retail availability following October 23.
Siri AI
The Next Generation of Apple Intelligence and an All-New Siri iPhone Duo gives users access to Siri AI, an entirely new version of Siri that is rolling out in beta with iOS 27.
Powered by Apple Intelligence, Siri is profoundly more personal, capable, and conversational, and becomes even more useful on the large inner display.
Powerful AI capabilities paired with personal context make iPhone Duo an intelligent personal hub with privacy and security at its core.
Siri AI can draw on personal context understanding to help users find what they need in the moment across messages, emails, photos, and more; use on-screen awareness to take action related to the content on a user's screen; and answer questions about virtually any topic.
Users can write with Siri by simply describing what they need.
The all-new Siri app also makes it easy to revisit past conversations or kick off new ones, with conversational history synced privately across products with iCloud.
