Apple introduced the iPhone Duo on September 9, 2026, at 14:56, presenting a mobile device built with a 7.6-inch internal display to consumers worldwide. Software teams added dedicated functions directly into the iOS operating system to enable smooth two-handed control, marking the formal arrival of the company into the folding hardware category.
Software modifications designed for two-handed use
Software engineers at Apple tailored the iOS operating platform to maintain uninterrupted content movement across the screen whenever a person supports and navigates the flexible panel using both hands simultaneously.
Retail pricing set for the Brazilian smartphone market
The company set the starting retail price for Brazilian customers at R$ 21,999 for the base edition. Apple fixed the amount. This local price of R$ 21,999 elevates the folding architecture of the iPhone Duo directly to the highest cost tier among mobile devices that Apple distributes within Brazilian territory, establishing the hardware as its most expensive catalog offering.
The official presentation on September 9, 2026, confirmed every measurement of the 7.6-inch display. Those verified screen dimensions concluded the technical outline for the worldwide debut of the first foldable model produced by Apple.
