Apple Unveils 2 iPhone Duo Accessories, Adding Kickstand Folio and Magnetic Case

3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Sep 9

Summary

  • Apple introduced two dedicated iPhone Duo accessories: a thin two-part Case and a Folio with Kickstand, though neither is available to order yet.
  • The Case wraps the front and back of the device in matte polycarbonate and uses built-in magnets for alignment; it comes in Sand and Navy Blue.
  • The Folio covers only the back in Apple’s TechWoven fabric and adds a kickstand that sits flush when closed and supports multiple viewing angles.
  • Apple said the Folio still supports MagSafe charging through the kickstand even when propped open, and that both accessories underwent thousands of hours of testing.
