Summary
Hands-on testing in Mumbai found Apple’s first foldable felt more polished than a tech demo, with reviewers highlighting its design, inner display and software as standout strengths.
The 7.6-inch OLED inner screen drew the strongest praise: Apple’s layered ultra-thin glass eliminated the visible and tactile crease, while a nano-texture matte coating cut glare without sacrificing brightness.
At 254g—15g heavier than Google’s Pixel 11 Pro Fold—the iPhone Duo still felt comfortable because of its weight distribution, rounded edges and hinge that opens smoothly and holds multiple angles.
Software also impressed, with smooth animations, intuitive multitasking and split-screen support, while the device uses the same 2nm A20 Pro chip as the iPhone 18 Pro.
Apple will start sales on October 23 at $1,999, matching Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 and positioning the Duo as a direct challenge to Samsung and Google in foldables.
