The device, which is Apple's thinnest smartphone at 5.2mm when open, boasts a passport-sized design that unfolds to a 19.3cm (7.6-inch) display. The Duo replaces the Action Button and Face ID with a Touch ID on the power button and a new feature that automatically takes pictures.

The Duo is available in night sky and star white colors and is priced between Dh8,499 and Dh13,599 in the UAE.
