Apple’s latest iPhone lineup is here, and it’s a doozy. The company has finally unveiled the long-rumored iPhone Duo, a foldable iPhone that’s being billed as the biggest reinvention of the iPhone since the original. And let me tell you, it’s a real game-changer. I mean, who needs a normal phone when you can have one that folds in half like a fancy taco? The iPhone Duo opens like a book to reveal a 7.6-inch inner display, which is the largest ever on an iPhone. And when you’re not using it, you can fold it up and stick it in your pocket like a normal phone. Well, as normal as a $2,999 phone can be.
The Specs
The iPhone Duo is powered by the new A20 Pro chip, which is built on a 2-nanometre process and paired with a custom vapour chamber for up to 35% better sustained performance than the iPhone 17 Pro. It’s also got a dual-battery design that promises up to 31 hours of video playback on the inner display and a 50% charge in about 20 minutes. And with iOS 27, you’ll get all sorts of fancy new features like side-by-side Split View multitasking and an upgraded StandBy mode that works even when unplugged.
The Cameras
The iPhone Duo’s camera system is also pretty impressive, with a new 48 MP Fusion Main camera that’s capable of zero-shutter-lag shots at full resolution and optical-quality 2x telephoto. And with features like Smart Take, Duo Preview, and Kid Cue, you’ll be able to take all sorts of fancy photos and videos. Like, have you ever wanted to take a photo of your kid and have them look at the lens at the same time? Well, now you can with Kid Cue, which plays Peanuts animations to keep them looking at the lens. It’s like having your own personal photographer, minus the annoying photographer.
The Other iPhones
But the iPhone Duo isn’t the only new iPhone on the block. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are also getting some serious upgrades, including the new A20 Pro chip and a redesigned vapour chamber that delivers the highest sustained performance in iPhone history. And with features like variable aperture and Pro controls, you’ll be able to take your mobile photography to the next level. Or, you know, just use it to take selfies and post them on Instagram like a normal person.
The Pricing
So, how much is all this going to set you back? Well, the iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,749 CAD ($1,199 USD) and the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,899 CAD ($1,299 USD). And if you want to get your hands on the iPhone Duo, you’ll have to shell out a whopping $2,999 CAD ($1,999 USD). But hey, if you’ve got the cash to spare, it might just be worth it. After all, as the saying goes, “you get what you pay for.” Unless you’re buying a game with a season pass and a bunch of DLC, in which case you’re probably just getting ripped off.
And that’s a wrap, folks. The new iPhone lineup is here, and it’s a real mixed bag. On the one hand, you’ve got some seriously impressive specs and features. On the other hand, you’ve got some pretty steep price tags. But hey, if you’re an Apple fanboy, you’re probably already sold. And if you’re not, well, there’s always the option to wait for the inevitable price drop or buy a cheaper Android phone. The choice is yours.
