iPhone Duo: Apple Redefines Foldables

The iPhone Duo is Apple’s premium offering in the foldable category, designed in a book-style form factor with a focus on durability and productivity (iOS 27).

• Two screens without compromise: When closed, it offers a 5.4-inch external display, providing 90% of the area of an 18 Pro in a very compact size. When opened, it reveals a massive 7.6-inch internal display (50% larger than the 18 Pro Max).

• Nano-texture & Invisible Camera: The internal display features a special nano-texture finish to eliminate reflections and hide the crease, while the FaceTime camera is completely hidden beneath the panel when not in use.

• Top-Tier Durability: It is made of Grade 5 titanium with a glossy mirror finish, features Ceramic Shield 2 protection and IP68 certification. Its hinge consists of 100+ parts, while special adhesives are used internally so the display layers can "slide" like book pages without wearing out.

• Biometrics & Cameras: Due to its design, Face ID is replaced by Touch ID integrated into the side button. On the back, it houses an impressive 48MP Fusion camera (with 2x optical telephoto) and an upgraded 48MP Ultra Wide.

• Extra: Later this year it will gain support for Apple Pencil (USB-C)!

iPhone 18 Pro & 18 Pro Max: Revolution in Photography and Performance

The new Pro models are here to satisfy even the most demanding users, bringing technologies borrowed from professional DSLRs.

• Variable Aperture Camera: Apple integrates in both Pro models a brand-new 48MP Fusion sensor with variable aperture. Through 6 laser-cut blades, the camera mechanically opens and closes (reaching up to f/1.48) for top-tier low-light shots and true optical background blur. At the same time, the new Pro controls give users full manual control (shutter speed, white balance, histogram).

• Apple Reference Image: A new digital authenticity feature, where the sensor "signs" the pixels, creating an unaltered "digital negative" to certify that the photo is not an AI-generated product.

• A20 Pro Processor & Vapor Chamber: At their core beats the new A20 Pro chip (at 2nm) with 40% faster GPU and double the power for AI processes. For the first time in its history, Apple integrates a Vapor Chamber cooling system, definitively solving overheating issues in heavy tasks and gaming. The 18 Pro Max, in fact, offers the biggest battery increase in iPhone history.

• Redesigned Dynamic Island: Smarter than ever, the smaller Dynamic Island can now display up to 3 Live Activities simultaneously.
