iPhone 18 Pro vs. iPhone Duo: Comparing Apple’s New Pro Phone Against Its First Foldable
Key Points:
- Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro is now available, featuring the company’s best camera yet with a variable aperture for improved low-light photography and a redesigned internal cooling system.
- The upcoming iPhone Duo, Apple’s first foldable phone, offers a passport-style design with a 7.6-inch main display and a 5.4-inch cover screen but lacks the telephoto lens and variable aperture found on the 18 Pro.
- The iPhone Duo is significantly more expensive, starting at $1,999 for 256GB, compared to the iPhone 18 Pro’s $1,199 starting price for the same storage.
- Both phones use Apple’s new A20 Pro chip with enhanced performance and cooling, while battery life varies: the 18 Pro lasts up to 24 hours, and the Duo offers up to 44 hours of video playback when closed.
- Design differences include the 18 Pro’s traditional slab form with a 6.3-inch OLED display and Face ID, whereas the Duo features a foldable design with a matte nano-textured internal screen, no Face ID, and Touch ID via a side sensor.
