According to manufacturer announcements, Apple is expanding its smartphone lineup with the introduction of the Apple iPhone Duo, a folding device priced from 54,990 CZK up to 90,990 CZK for the 2TB configuration, alongside the traditional evolution of the standard flagship series represented by the iPhone 18 Pro starting at 34,990 CZK. The standard osmnáctky models hit the Czech market on Friday, while the foldable device arrives on October 23, marking a split release strategy for the tech giant’s latest generation.
Design and Display Specifications of Apple iPhone Duo
When closed, the Apple iPhone Duo functions as a compact phone featuring a 5.4-inch outer display, according to manufacturer specifications. Rozevření reveals a 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR inner screen, which Apple states provides half as much display area again as the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Both displays maintain a matching aspect ratio to keep interface transitions smooth between folded and unfolded states. The device utilizes a grade 5 titanium construction with an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, while a precision hinge mechanism supports the center of the display flat and a system of magnets keeps the closed phone secured.
Pro Tip: When capturing group photos with the Apple iPhone Duo, subjects can check their framing in real-time via the outer display while the photographer shoots from the main camera array.
Camera Capabilities and Hardware Performance
The folding model carries a 48MP main Fusion camera with optical stabilization and 2x optical-quality zoom, paired with a 48Mpx ultra-wide lens, as detailed by the manufacturer. The folding form factor allows users to prop the device at various angles for hands-free group shots and video recording. Performance-wise, the Duo runs on the A20 Pro chip, supported by an advanced vapor chamber thermal management system and a dual-battery architecture designed to deliver all-day battery life under the modified iOS 27 operating system. Support for the USB-C Apple Pencil is scheduled to arrive later in the year for sketching and document markup.
Evolution of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max Series
Running alongside the foldable category, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models continue the standard slab-phone lineage with updates to optics, computing power, and battery performance. According to Apple, the Pro series features a 48MP main Fusion camera with a variable aperture for adjusting depth of field and low-light exposure, complemented by a telephoto lens capable of up to 8x optical-quality zoom. The A20 Pro processor inside these models uses an internal vapor chamber to handle demanding tasks, gaming, and artificial intelligence workloads. The iPhone 18 Pro Max delivers up to 43 hours of video playback, representing a six-hour gain over the previous generation, housed within an aluminum unibody frame protected by Ceramic Shield glass and available in black, silver, glacial blue, and burgundy red.
