The new foldable iPhone Duo is “the thinnest iPhone ever,” according to Apple. When unfolded, the device is 5.2mm thick, making it 0.4mm thinner than the 5.6mm iPhone Air.
Rumors suggested it could be as thin as 4.5mm when unfolded, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold8, but it hasn’t been that thin. At 5.2mm, it’s just a bit thicker than the 5.1mm 13-inch iPad Pro, which is Apple’s thinnest device.
When folded, the iPhone Duo measures 11.3mm thick. For comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro Max are both 8.75mm thick.
The iPhone Duo is also Apple’s heaviest iPhone yet at 254 grams, five grams heavier than the 249-gram iPhone 18 Pro Max. It has a 7.6-inch inner screen when open and a 5.4-inch outer screen when closed, and it has a short and wide design.
Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo begin on October 16 ahead of the October 23 launch date.
