Foldable iPhone Duo vs. iPhone 18 Pro: Which flagship should you buy?

MacRumors compares the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max with Apple’s new foldable iPhone Duo, noting they share the A20 Pro chip and many core features, but the Duo’s 7.6-inch folding display and Apple Pencil support come at the cost of weaker cameras, no LiDAR, and a higher price. The Pro models deliver a more versatile camera system, LiDAR, and better overall value for most users, while the Duo appeals to those who want a foldable screen and tablet-like tasks.

Foldable iPhone May Drop Face ID and Telephoto Cameras

Apple's first foldable iPhone, possibly called iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra, is expected to debut Sept 9 with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup at a premium price. To fit a thin design, it may drop Face ID in favor of Touch ID on the side power button, omit a dedicated telephoto camera in favor of two 48MP sensors, and feature an outer 5.5-inch display with a 7.8-inch internal screen. MagSafe is expected to stay, and the device could ship with eSIM-only connectivity and potentially miss mmWave 5G in some versions; details such as button layout and crease reduction hinge remain speculative.

Apple’s iPhone Ultra tipped to be crease-free with a liquid-metal hinge

Apple’s iPhone Ultra is rumored to debut as a crease-free foldable thanks to a liquid-metal hinge and a flat-fold display stack, delivering a 7.8-inch inner panel with a 4:3 aspect ratio. It reportedly uses a side-mounted Touch ID, an A20 Pro chip on a 2nm process with 12GB RAM, and foldable-friendly software APIs. The device is said to be announced at a Sept. 8–9 keynote and go on sale Sept. 18 at a price above $2,000 (potentially up to $2,500), with supply likely to be limited at launch and production targets around 10 million units based on leaks.

Android Central lauds the Motorola Razr Fold's Extreme AMOLED displays for impressive brightness and true 10‑bit color, while prioritizing eye comfort with DC dimming, a fast PWM rate, and a Flicker Prevention option. The guide shows how to tune settings (disable PWM, enable Flicker Prevention, pick Natural color, 60/120Hz refresh, Night Light/Extra Dim) to reduce eye strain, arguing this makes the Razr Fold the most eye‑friendly North American foldable against Google Pixel Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold—though some caveats like potential color shifts and grain at low brightness remain.
