Apple's Foldable iPhone Duo Shows Gaming Promise

Apple unveiled its first foldable iPhone, the Duo, on September 9, 2026, with a $1,999 starting price, making it the company's most expensive iPhone yet. A video from Geoff Keighley highlights its potential as a gaming device, though the experience resembles tablet gaming. The Duo features a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner screen, the largest on an iPhone, powered by the A20 Pro chip. It supports multi-app use, Apple Pencil input, and offers up to 31 hours of video playback on the inner screen, 44 hours on the outer, or 24 hours using both. Preorders begin October 16, with availability on October 23. As a late entry to the foldable market, its high price and gaming appeal may attract niche users, though durability concerns suggest using a case.
