Tyler Stalman, a professional photographer, has reviewed the iPhone Duo's camera system in a new video. Stalman points out that the iPhone Duo lacks a Telephoto lens and has a less capable Main camera compared to the iPhone 18 Pro. He notes that most people won't be able to discern the differences between the Duo and the 18 Pro's camera in various lighting conditions. Low-light performance is better on the Pro, but it may not be noticeable to everyone.
However, Stalman highlights some camera-related advantages of the iPhone Duo. The Duo features two screens, allowing for 48MP selfies and the ability to share a real-time view of what's being captured with others. The Ultra Wide lens on the Duo appears to offer similar quality to the iPhone 18 Pro. The Center Stage front camera is another weak point of the Duo, offering only 12MP resolution compared to the 18MP lens on the 18 Pro and earlier Pro models.
Stalman expects the selfie quality to be similar to pre-iPhone 17 models, but with added features like Center Stage and automatic framing.
While the Duo's camera shortcomings might affect some potential buyers, Stalman emphasizes that the option to use the Main camera for selfies is a mitigating factor.
