Apple's new folding iPhone Duo is finally here, alongside refreshed Pro models. Our primer has all the details you need to choose the iPhone 18 that's right for you.
Choosing the right iPhone 18 model can be a daunting task. With the introduction of the iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple offers a range of options to suit different needs. All three models share some key features, such as the powerful A20 Pro chip, a 120-Hz adaptive refresh rate OLED display, and an IP68 water and dust resistance rating. However, there are significant differences between them.
The iPhone Duo has a compact 5.4-inch screen that unfolds into a 7.6-inch display, making it more portable than traditional foldable phones. It weighs 254 grams, which is heavier than the other two models. The Duo has a 48-megapixel main camera and a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens but lacks a telephoto lens. Its price starts at $1,999. The phone supports Qi2 magnetic wireless charging and includes Touch ID, Ultra Wideband, and Dual Capture features.
The iPhone 18 Pro, priced at $1,199, is the smallest of the three with an 6.3-inch display and weighs 211 grams. It features a 48-megapixel main camera, 48-megapixel ultrawide, and 48-megapixel telephoto lens with 8X zoom. The Pro model comes with USB-C ports, Face ID, and has a slightly larger battery than the Duo. Its build includes a titanium frame, Ceramic Shield front, and Ceramic Shield back.
The iPhone 18 Pro Max is the largest model, with a 6.9-inch display and weighing 249 grams. It is the most expensive at $1,299. It also has the largest battery, promising extended battery life. The Pro Max features a 48-megapixel main camera, 48-megapixel ultrawide, and 48-megapixel telephoto lens with 8X zoom, similar to the Pro model. It includes the same features as the Pro model but with a larger frame and back.
