The iPhone Duo, Apple's latest foldable smartphone, introduces unique camera features designed to take full advantage of its dual-display design. Smart Take uses artificial intelligence to determine when everyone present is ready for a group shot, automatically capturing the image without the need for a timer or excluding anyone from the photo.
The iPhone Duo can be used in multiple orientations, including when it's half-folded, where it can stand upright to take photos and videos with its outer display, acting like a built-in tripod and stand.
The iPhone Duo features a dual-camera system, including a 48MP main camera and a 48MP ultra-wide camera, similar to the iPhone 17. It supports 4K Dolby Vision video recording at up to 120 frames per second, as well as Cinematic mode for 4K Dolby Vision video at up to 60 frames per second. The camera also supports time-lapse recording with stabilization at 4K Dolby Vision, which is particularly useful for the iPhone Duo due to its ability to record stable videos without the need for a tripod.
However, the iPhone Duo's camera system is more basic compared to the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. It lacks a telephoto lens, Pro Controls, variable aperture, second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization, Adaptive True Tone flash, spatial photos or video recording, ProRAW format, ProRes video recording, Genlock Apple Log 2 video recording, and studio-quality four-mic array. Instead, it focuses on offering a more accessible and user-friendly camera experience for its foldable form factor.
