Apple Could Eventually Launch a Larger ‘iPhone Duo Max’

Apple’s newly unveiled iPhone Duo may be the first in what could become an entire family of foldable iPhones, including a larger ‘iPhone Duo Max.’ The company is reportedly considering a larger model of its foldable line.

According to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, an iPhone Duo Max may feature a larger display. The recently announced iPhone Duo features a 5.4-inch outer display and unfolds to a 7.6-inch inner screen, with Apple adapting iOS 27 to support split-screen multitasking and saved app pairs.  Additionally, Gurman theorizes that Apple could reveal a lower-cost “Duo SE” or even a smaller “Duo Mini,” potentially using a clamshell design rather than the current book-style form factor.

Those additional models aren’t confirmed products, however, and Gurman’s comments appear to be predictions about where Apple could take the lineup rather than details on devices currently scheduled for release. For now, Apple has just one foldable in its arsenal.

Gurman also shed some light on the iPhone Duo’s name. Apparently, Apple deliberately chose the Duo name for its first foldable because it leaves plenty of room to expand the lineup in the coming years. Before its unveiling, Apple’s foldable was widely referred to as the “iPhone Ultra.” Even employees at Apple reportedly adopted the unofficial name, which appeared frequently in reports leading up to the launch.

Apple ultimately went with iPhone Duo, putting the three-letter designation alongside established names like Air and Pro. According to Gurman, that could make future variations considerably easier to market.

It’s also priced very much like a first-generation experiment. The Duo starts at $2,999 CAD in Canada, while the 2TB model reaches $4,799 before tax. Pre-orders open October 16 before the phone launches October 23.
