iPhone Duo Gets A Foldable Design
The biggest change is the iPhone Duo's foldable design. When opened, it has a 7.6-inch inner display, while the outer screen measures 5.4 inches. Both displays support ProMotion, Always-On functionality and up to 3,000 nits of peak outdoor brightness. The inner display also uses a nano-texture finish designed to reduce glare and make the crease less noticeable.
Apple has used titanium in the design and added a precision hinge. The phone also features an under-display FaceTime camera, allowing the large inner screen to remain uninterrupted when the camera is not being used.
Camera Upgrades On iPhone 18 Pro
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max get a new 48MP Fusion Main camera with variable aperture. This gives users more control over how much light enters the camera and how much of the scene appears in focus.
Apple has also added new Pro camera controls, upgraded Photographic Styles and video improvements. Both Pro models include a 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide and 48MP Fusion Telephoto camera as part of the Pro camera system.
For people who use an iPhone for photography or video, variable aperture is one of the biggest changes to the camera system this year.
A20 Pro Powers All Three Models
The iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are powered by Apple's A20 Pro chip, built using a 2-nanometre process.
The chip has a 6-core CPU, 7-core GPU and dual 16-core Neural Engine. Apple says the GPU can be up to 40% faster than the previous-generation A19 Pro, while the Neural Engine offers twice the AI processing power.
The Pro models also use a redesigned vapour chamber for better sustained performance during demanding tasks such as gaming, video editing and AI workloads.
Battery Life And AI Features
Battery life is another major focus of the new Pro models. Apple says the iPhone 18 Pro Max can deliver up to 43 hours of video playback, while the iPhone 18 Pro offers up to 36 hours on eSIM-only models.
All three phones run on Apple's latest software platform, with Apple Intelligence and Siri AI features. The iPhone Duo also gets a redesigned iOS experience built around its foldable display, including multitasking features and a dual-screen interface.
Which New iPhone Should You Buy?
The iPhone Duo is aimed at buyers who want Apple's first foldable design and a larger screen for multitasking, gaming and content.
The iPhone 18 Pro is the more compact Pro option and starts at ₹1,64,900, making it considerably cheaper than the foldable.
The iPhone 18 Pro Max costs more but offers a larger display and the longest battery life in the new Pro range.
For most buyers, the decision will come down to whether the foldable design is worth paying nearly ₹3 lakh for. Those mainly looking for a powerful camera, long battery life and Pro performance can save considerably by choosing the iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max.
