Apple Recommends $69 Pencil and 40W Charger for iPhone Duo as Foldable Launch Nears

$69 Apple Pencil USB-C tops early iPhone Duo accessory picks because Apple’s first foldable will add Pencil support later this year through a software update.
50% charging in 20 minutes is possible on iPhone Duo, but Apple says users need a higher-output adapter such as its $34 40W Dynamic Power Adapter or a 100W Anker alternative; only a USB-C cable comes in the box.
$19 MagSafe car mounts and third-party cases starting at $29 are already available, while Apple’s own Duo cases run up to $129 for a folio with kickstand.
StandBy upgrades on iPhone Duo also broaden accessory use beyond charging, with Home Camera views highlighting HomeKit-compatible cameras such as Aqara’s $35 model and eufy’s $69 4K version.
