I started the day with the idea of an intelligent personal hub

and why there's no product in the world better designed to be that hub than iPhone.

And for a device that plays such a central role in your life, a larger display would open up entirely new possibilities.

Whether you're enjoying content, reliving memories, getting help from Siri AI and Apple intelligence, or immersing yourself in your favorite apps and games.

Now at the same time, you'd still want it to fit in your pocket and in the palm of your hand.

And we think the best way to achieve that is with a foldable design.

Others have created foldables that just feel like two phones awkwardly stuck together.

This results in a square screen that's poorly suited for the way people use them.

Scrolling through vertical content feels compromised, and movies are boxed in by oversized black bars, making a larger screen feel much smaller.

We started with the experience that we wanted for ourselves, a larger display that feels as natural and intuitive as iPad.

Then we brought together thoughtful design with breakthrough engineering in a way only Apple can.

And the result is a series of remarkable innovations that we believe will redefine the experience of using a foldable phone.

And here it is.

The End

This is iPhone Duo.

To tell you more about the thinking behind the Duo's design, hear Molly and Steve.

iPhone Duo is unlike any iPhone you've experienced before.

It's entirely new and at the same time remarkably familiar.

A similar size to your passport, it feels familiar to hold and comfortable to use with one hand.

Its distinctive asymmetric shape with two rounded corners invites you to open it.

The two sides connect into a continuous frame surrounding the largest iPhone display we've ever designed.

Inspired by the versatility of iPad with a narrow uniform border creating a spacious inner display

that's immersive for both landscape and portrait use.

We wanted the experience of using iPhone Duo to feel uninterrupted.

With two screens, the transition between open and closed had to be fluid and completely intuitive.

To achieve this continuity, we designed iPhone Duo around a consistent aspect ratio that is the same across both displays.

For the first time, the FaceTime camera is designed to fit discreetly behind the display, hidden until you need it.

We've also designed a remarkable hinge which supports the centre of the display as it articulates, holding it flat when opened.

The hinge mechanism has a custom variable torque profile which precisely controls opening and closing.

The motion is designed to feel effortlessly smooth, combined with an integrated magnet array for a satisfying and secure closure.

When open, it's our thinnest iPhone ever, enabled by an architecture that tightly packages key components into the camera plateau,

providing space for an impressive battery system.

The frame is made from aerospace-grade titanium,

required for strength at this thinness that's been precision machined and polished to an elegant mirror finish.

The convenience of iPhone Duo is combining the utility of two products into one.

The largest display for an iPhone in an incredibly compact, pocketable form.

With the unique form factor of iPhone Duo, we took advantage of liquid glass to fluidly adapt to this new aspect ratio and larger inner display.

For example, iOS 27 moves essential controls to the side.

This maximizes vertical space for content and places controls within easy reach of your thumb.

This meant adjusting every app's layout and reconsidering iPhone design principles that have existed for years.

All to make the software and new hardware work elegantly together.

The dock on the home screen is now oriented vertically.

The status bar retains all the information you need in a more compact, flexible system that nestles into the corner of iPhone Duo.

As you move between displays, the software gracefully expands and transitions from the outer to the inner display.

Controls remain in a consistent location on the side, while content scales to take advantage of the larger screen.

With the larger inner display, we also expanded the capabilities of iOS.

Whether it's viewing two home screen pages at once, seeing your inbox and messages at the same time, or even opening two apps side by side,

We also made iOS more flexible than ever.

The system reacts as you fold iPhone Duo, reorients when you turn it on the side, and transitions to the appropriate display when you flip it over.

We designed the hardware and software together to create experiences like this across the system.

As a result, iPhone Duo and iOS 27 redefined what an iPhone can do while still feeling natural and familiar.

iPhone Duo brings an entirely new design while preserving everything you love and expect from iPhone.

It gives you the largest display ever on an iPhone while still fitting easily in your pocket.

It reflects extraordinarily complex engineering, yet feels effortless to use.

And it makes new experiences possible.

To tell you more about the amazing iPhone Duo, here's Joss.

Everything you'd love to do comes to life on iPhone Duo's two beautiful displays.

It opens to a massive 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR display

that is 50% larger than iPhone 18 Pro Max and a whopping 80% larger than iPhone 18 Pro.

Not only does everything look incredible on this display, but you'll also get a larger canvas for your apps to fit more content.

The beautiful 5.4-inch outer display provides 90% of the screen area of iPhone 18 Pro.

And these displays do more than just look great.

Later this year, you'll be able to use Apple Pencil with USB-C on either display for jotting notes, sketching, or marking up documents.

The first time iPhone offers the great Apple Pencil experience that iPad users love.

We wanted to provide an easy, secure, and consistent way to authenticate iPhone Duo, whether it's closed or open.

So we determined that Touch ID integrated into the side button

and positioned right under your thumb would be the best way to achieve that.

And to account for the different ways you might hold it, you could enroll multiple fingers.

And for added convenience, you can also unlock iPhone Duo effortlessly using your Apple Watch.

iPhone Duo sounds amazing too.

With speakers on the top and bottom, it delivers immersive spatial audio in both landscape and portrait portrait.

It comes in two refined colors, star white and night sky.

iPhone Duo is beautiful and durable.

It's crafted from grade 5 titanium that offers incredible strength.

The central structural plane has support ribs for added stiffness.

To make the frame even more rigid, the antenna splits are reinforced with high-performance inserts.

They're made from ceramic fibers that are three times stronger than grade 5 titanium.

Together, these structural details make iPhone Duo feel exceptionally solid every time you use it.

It also has ceramic shield on the back, ceramic shield 2 on the front, and is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance.

Of course, groundbreaking hardware deserves an equally groundbreaking software experience.

Here's Craig to tell you more.

We looked at every aspect of iOS to see how we could make it even more useful on iPhone Duo.

Like you saw, essential controls are on the side to free up vertical space for content.

This approach benefits your entire experience.

For example, on the lock screen, it puts more focus on your wallpaper, especially with this minimalist view that lets you really celebrate your favorite images.

And we've brought this efficient use of space across the entire system, optimizing each of our apps specifically for iPhone Duo.

The expansive display also supercharges productivity by letting you do more at once.

You can move an app over to one side and launch a second app on the other for powerful split-view multitasking.

Or launch a second window of the same app, like Safari, for comparison shopping.

With the same gesture you already know, swapping apps is easy.

And so is changing sides.

And with a simple tap on the divider, you can pair the apps so it's easy to get back to them later.

Using the large screen in portrait also feels great.

If you're multitasking while watching a video, you can pin it to the top for a much larger view with plenty of space left below for your other app.

As you can see, iPhone Duo is truly the most versatile iPhone ever, and we've taken it even further.

You can use it in any orientation or pose.

iOS intelligently reacts to the device angle, leveraging the sensors in each half.

Set it on the table and watch a show hands-free on the outer display without a stand.

or enjoy it with the perfect viewing angle and easy access to the controls on the bottom.

100

Custom tuning algorithms account for the changing distance between the speakers in different poses to deliver an amazing audio experience, no matter how you use iPhone Duo.

101

You can also use iPhone Duo partially folded.

102

iOS gracefully adapts, sliding the content away from the folding area where it can be difficult to tap.

103

We've also reimagined standby for iPhone Duo.

104

it down and it will enter standby even when it's not charging.

105

You can customize it with new faces including weather and calendar as well as widgets like music to enjoy your favorite songs.

106

Or stay on top of your notifications at a glance.

107

An iPhone Duo can transform into a delightful bedside clock with

108

the ability to wake you up with a gentle glow timed perfectly with your alarm.

109

We've also made it easy for developers to adapt their apps for iPhone with new and updated APIs.

110

Zoom could turn the display into an immersive video conference room.

111

You can easily see both the content being shared as well as the other participants on the call.

112

Slack brings your whole workspace into view.

113

Detail uses the new Core AI framework

114

and runs its AI models on device to make content creation fast and easy on the big screen.

115

And Netflix takes advantage of the versatility of iPhone Duo to make finding shows even more fun and engaging.

116

scroll through clips on the outer display, or open up to get a captivating experience on the large screen.

117

These are just some of the amazing apps being updated to take advantage of iPhone Duo, and we can't wait to see what developers are going to create.

118

Of course, none of this is possible without amazing hardware innovation.

119

To tell you more, here's Johnny.

120

For iPhone Duo, our goal was to deliver the best possible experience when it comes to the display.

121

This includes how it looks and feels.

122

We wanted to provide the highest quality for viewing content and address what people dislike about foldable displays.

123

The distracting crease, the plastic feel, and susceptibility to scratches and dents.

124

Drawing on our learnings from iPad and Mac, we developed a custom nanotexture finish that significantly reduces glare and reflections.

125

The unique texture creates a perceptually flat matte surface that minimizes crease visibility and also feels premium to touch.

126

We create this by using maskless laser lithography where every microlens is written pixel by pixel.

127

Pixel.

128

iPhone Duo uses a novel structural system with a multi-layer lamination design that keeps the display flat and provides durability.

129

The nano-textured cover layer is made from a custom polymer

130

that has up to 40% higher stiffness than other materials used in the industry and has an Apple-designed coating for scratch resistance.

131

There is high-strength glass above and below the OLED panel for added protection.

132

Viscoelastic adhesives allow these layers to glide relative to one another during folding, like pages in a book, so the panel doesn't distort over time.

133

A titanium plate serves as the bottom layer to bring further durability,

134

and bringing it all together is the hinge with over a hundred tiny precision components.

135

Carbon fiber support plates create a stiff, lightweight platform for the display to rest on.

136

During manufacturing, we use AI algorithms to precisely match each individual hinge with its best fit housing to ensure perfect alignment.

137

And a confocal laser progressively scans the topology of every single unit

138

and 3D prints up to 25 micro layers of a custom photopolymer to eliminate residual waviness.

139

The result of all of these innovations is a folding display with superior viewing quality that feels premium and flat,

140

resists wear and meets the high standards of iPhone.

141

Powering iPhone Duo is A20 Pro, built to handle demanding workloads.

142

A20 Pro also features a new display engine

143

that drives both displays simultaneously with smooth transitions between them

144

and blends the unique pixel layout in the under-display camera area to deliver a consistent viewing experience.

145

Our new chip package with a direct die-to-thermal design lets A20 Pro reach peak performance for on-device AI immediately,

146

while a vapor chamber sustains it for high frame rate gaming on the large display.

147

The result is up to 35% higher sustained performance than iPhone 17 Pro.

148

iPhone Duo also features C2, our most advanced cellular modem.

149

C2 delivers big updates to all the primary components, including baseband, transceivers, power management,

150

firmware and software working together as one platform.

151

With our fully integrated approach, it's optimized to improve everyday user experiences, including using AI algorithms to improve cellular reliability,

152

like reconnecting faster in low-caverage areas.

153

This is possible because we design A20 Pro, C2 and iOS together as an end-to-end system.

154

C2 also delivers faster uploads.

155

When compared to C1X, it's up to 50% faster and adds 5G millimeter wave support in the US,

156

all while consuming 15% less energy.

157

This level of efficiency is critical for battery life.

158

iPhone Duo is eSIM only worldwide.

159

This allowed us to use every bit of internal space to maximize battery capacity.

160

There is a high energy battery on each side.

161

Custom silicon and algorithms handle all of the charging, discharging and rebalancing.

162

So these two batteries operate seamlessly as one.

163

The result is an impressive all-day battery life.

164

you get up to 31 hours of video playback when using the inner display

165

and a massive 44 hours when using the outer display.

166

And with our new battery usage model, iPhone Duo provides up to 24 hours per charge when using both screens equally.

167

It also supports fast charging, up to 50% in around 20 minutes,

168

and gives you up to 5 hours of video playback when using the outer display after just 5 minutes of charging.

169

Bringing iPhone Dual to life has involved some of the most complex and innovative engineering we have ever done.

170

And there's still more to tell you, so let me hand it back to Jos.

171

A key part of what puts iPhone at the center of your personal world is its incredible camera system.

172

It captures the moments that matter most.

173

The new Fusion main camera captures incredible details, like in this person's shirt and the blades of grass.

174

Thanks to the zero shutter lag, this 48 megapixel photo captured the exact peak of this jump while maintaining sharpness in the leaves and hair.

175

The 2X optical quality telephoto lets you get closer to the subject

176

and captures the texture of the rocks and the fine details in her dress.

177

This camera also excels in low light, thanks to its large sensor, fast aperture, and sensor-shift optical image stabilization.

178

Even in the dark theater, it's captured the details in her jacket.

179

The main camera also supports 4K 120 video for the slow motion effects users love on our Pro models

180

that make even playtime look cinematic.

181

Because iPhone Duo can stand on its own, it opens up entirely new creative possibilities by capturing memorable time lapses in 4K Dolby Vision HDR.

182

The 48 megapixel Fusion Ultrawide is the same camera that's in iPhone 18 Pro.

183

It captures the scene with stunning detail.

184

The light on our face beautifully complements the playful nature of the scene.

185

With the power of computational photography, iPhone Duo also supports the updated photographic styles with texture and grain control.

186

The new film texture gives this already striking portrait a classic vintage look.

187

The center stage front camera lets you easily take photos

188

and videos in any orientation without having to rotate your phone to take a landscape selfie.

189

Under the inner display is the new FaceTime camera, so you can use the big screen to connect with family and friends,

190

both when iPhone Duo is fully open or propped on a surface for a hands-free experience.

191

With dual capture and FaceTime, you can share both your front and rear camera feeds simultaneously, so your friend can see you and what you're looking at.

192

And Duo FaceTime makes video calls even more fun by letting someone with you join the conversation on the outer display,

193

so you can share the moment without crowding around one screen.

194

iPhone Duo gives you fun new ways to use the camera that simply aren't possible on any other iPhone.

195

It makes it so much easier to take selfies with the high resolution rear cameras

196

because the outer display lets you preview and perfectly frame your shot.

197

With Duo Preview, your subject can see themselves in the outer display so they can pose, check the framing, and help guide the shot.

198

Kid Q plays fun animations that grab your kid's attention, getting them looking at the camera and brings out their big smiles and laughs.

199

With just a tap, iPhone Duo can become your personal photographer.

200

201

our new Smart Take feature follows the scene in real time and automatically snaps the photo when everyone is posed and ready.

202

Now you don't have to miss out on being in the shot

203

because you had to press the shutter and outrun the timer to get in the frame.

204

And getting full body wide angle selfies is so easy.

205

It also enables creative shots like these.

206

And it looks stunning on the large display.

207

This is such a powerful, versatile, and intelligent camera system.

208

We've also designed some amazing accessories.

209

The iPhone Duo Folio has an integrated kickstand that folds away neatly when not needed.

210

And the iPhone Duo case has two parts that wrap around each half to protect against drops and everyday wear.

211

So that's iPhone Duo, the most transformational iPhone experience since the original.

212

It features the largest display ever on iPhone,

213

along with a beautiful outer display and a reimagined iOS experience that makes the familiar feel entirely new.

214

With pro performance, unique camera experiences, amazing durability, and unparalleled versatility,

215

it's an iPhone like no other iPhone.

216

iPhone Duo starts at $19.99, with storage capacities ranging from 256 gigabytes to two terabytes.

217

And of course, we'll have great trade-in offers from Apple and our partners.

218

Pre-orders begin October 16th, and it will be available on October 23rd.

219

With iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro, we pushed our entire iPhone lineup forward, making it more capable, more versatile,

220

and more exciting than ever before.

221

Now, back to John.

222

I hope you're as excited as I am about the all-new iPhone Duo.

223

Let's take another look.

224

I can't touch will you be calm.

225

Everybody's getting older except you.

226

And I don't know why.

227

iPhone Duo represents the incredible creativity, ingenuity, and dedication of teams across Apple.

228

It reflects what's possible when we bring our very best work together in service of creating something truly meaningful for our customers.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
