iPhone Duo is Apple’s first foldable phone and was selected as Time Magazine’s Best Invention of 2026. This model has a 7.6-inch unfolding screen and nano texture coating.
Apple's first foldable iPhone Duo is finally on sale. It is officially open for pre-order on Apple's official website at 8 o'clock tonight (16th). Although the lowest price is 74,900 yuan, and the top-end version is even more expensive at 118,900 yuan, Apple fans are still clamoring for it.
As soon as the sales started at 8:00, there was a traffic jam on Apple's official website, and it was not fully opened until 8:15. Unexpectedly, the first batch of spot stocks of all models had been snatched up. If you didn't grab the first batch of Apple fans, you would have to wait until at least early December for the goods to arrive.
The Internet was full of wailing, and many Apple fans complained that they couldn't even enter the official website. "Why are you stuck on this screen all the time?", "By the time I can enter, the goods will not arrive until December 1st."
iPhone Duo is full of topics, and the American "Time Magazine" also affirmed it. "Time Magazine" announces the best inventions of the year every year. The latest 2026 list has been officially released. This year, 300 innovative products were selected in one breath, and iPhone Duo also successfully made the list. It seems that if Apple fans want to be at the forefront of the trend this year, they just have to hold an iPhone Duo in their hands. Not only is it full of technology, but it also looks good when it is taken out.
The outer screen of iPhone Duo is 5.4 inches, and when unfolded it becomes a large 7.6-inch screen. It can perform multiple tasks, which is equivalent to combining a mobile phone and a small tablet into one. When folded, it looks like a passport and can still be easily put into a bag or pocket. Apple has also added a nano-texture coating to the inner screen to minimize the visual presence of creases, which can be said to be the biggest selling point of the new phone.
However, although the iPhone Duo is full of technology, you still need to clearly understand the differences in specifications before buying it. For example, it does not have Face ID facial recognition, only supports eSIM, and the body weight is not light. In terms of photography, it lacks an independent telephoto lens and does not have professional shooting functions such as the variable aperture of the iPhone 18 Pro series. In addition, the repair cost is also quite expensive, so it is recommended to consider purchasing AppleCare+ service.
