Apple iPhone Duo review: A first-class foldable

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 19 October 2026 and 21 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Even though it's heavy and expensive, Apple's first foldable handset is a treat for iPhone users unwilling to switch to Android.

What the coverage shows

All four outlets frame the iPhone Duo as a major, well-received first foldable, with Engadget and Wired both emphasizing that Apple has made a strong debut even if there are tradeoffs. The framing diverges on emphasis: Engadget foregrounds weight, price, and appeal to iPhone users, while Wired stresses how iOS and third-party apps still need time to catch up. 9to5Mac is the only outlet here to add a review headline about the device’s form factor and to run separate pieces on order limits and supply-related context, while CNBC alone ties the launch to demand and domestic component sourcing.
