A series of iPhone Duo unboxing videos has appeared on YouTube, showing the device shipping in its open, unfolded configuration. The first official reviews are expected shortly, though they may only prove tantalizing given how hard it is to buy one.
Three linked videos show both the Star White and Night Sky color versions. The most detailed of the three reveals that the phone can be closed even during initial startup. It then demonstrates how the interior opens with the now familiar animation, whether the phone is held in portrait or landscape. The video also shows exactly how the Kid Cue feature is turned on to attract a child's attention while taking a photo.
A second video repeats much of the unboxing but focuses on how invisible the crease in the center of the screen is. It shows that the crease can only be seen when the display is pressed in a specific place. A third video spends an unusually long time showing the unboxer using a heat gun to loosen the adhesive packaging strip, before moving on to the setup screens and describing the build quality as "heaven."
Apple's iPhone Duo is available for pre-order now, but shipping dates are showing January 25, 2027. The device is expected to go on sale in Apple Stores from October 23, 2026, although stock is expected to be low to even nil.
