Apple Preps $1,999 iPhone Duo 2 With Telephoto Camera and Under-Display Face ID

3 articles · Updated · Geeky Gadgets · Nov 11

Summary

  • Apple is preparing the iPhone Duo 2 as a second-generation foldable with three headline upgrades: a telephoto camera, under-display Face ID and the return of the action button.
  • The changes are aimed at fixing first-generation weaknesses and pushing the foldable closer to Apple’s Pro lineup, especially in photography, biometrics and day-to-day controls.
  • A telephoto lens would add optical zoom that many rival foldables lack, while under-display Face ID could remove visible cutouts if Apple can solve packaging challenges in a thin titanium chassis.
  • Apple is targeting a price around $1,999 and a second-half 2027 launch, betting a slimmer, more capable device can better challenge Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series in the premium foldable market.
