Multiple reviewers have tested the iPhone Duo's thermal performance, with mixed results. Joanna Stern found the device uncomfortably warm during FaceTime and photography, while The Verge reported significant heat buildup during extended camera use and third-party app sessions. Apple claims the warmth is intentional, designed to move heat away from the A20 Pro chip via a thinner vapor chamber and flexible graphite hinge pipe.
HTX Studio's 30-minute gaming test recorded the iPhone Duo at 46.5°C, higher than the iPhone 18 Pro models, with a 20% lower frame rate and reduced brightness. Mrwhosetheboss noted heat trapping when the device is closed, affecting performance. However, Gizmodo and 9to5Mac found heat manageable, with the vapor chamber effectively preventing lag.
Tom's Guide confirmed even heat distribution but noted it runs hotter than the Galaxy Z Fold8. The iPhone Duo launches this Friday, leaving real-world user experiences yet to be seen.
