Apple announces the iPhone Duo, its first foldable, with two 48MP rear cameras
The Duo keeps its camera simple: a 48MP 26mm f/1.6 main camera with an optical-quality 2x crop, plus the same 48MP 13mm f/2.2 ultra wide as the iPhone 18 Pro. That gives a 4x optical-quality zoom range but no dedicated telephoto. The main camera records 4K120 in Dolby Vision, and there are two selfie cameras: a 12MP f/2.2 Center Stage camera on the outer screen and an f/1.8 FaceTime camera under the inner display. It starts at $1,999 with 256GB, with pre-orders on October 16 and sales from October 23.
