Apple is reportedly working on incorporating Face ID and a telephoto lens into the upcoming iPhone Duo, according to a report by Mark Gurman. However, the tight deadline for the 2027 refresh may prevent these features from making the cut. The second-generation iPhone Duo is said to have two main priorities: adding Face ID and an Action Button.
The latter, a button with unspecified functionality, is believed to be the most likely implementation. Despite the absence of Face ID in the current model, prototypes reportedly exist with the biometric technology integrated into the outer display. Apple is reportedly nearing the final design stages for the hardware, codenamed V78.
Other aims for future iterations include a reduction in thickness, weight, and the inclusion of a telephoto lens. Customer feedback, aside from what's already on the roadmap, is expected to arrive with the iPhone Duo 3.
