Apple took the wraps off its newest hardware in a prerecorded video presentation today. There were new iPhones and new Apple Watches, but the biggest reveal was Apple’s heavily rumored first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo. The pricey new phone looks as polished as you’d expect Apple’s late entry to the foldable segment to be, with a form factor quite similar to the squatter Galaxy Z Fold 8. The Duo also has one feature that owners of Samsung’s latest foldables might be jealous of: support for Apple’s first-party Apple Pencil stylus.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 offered support for input from Samsung’s compatible S Pen styluses on its inner display, but the Z Fold 7 and Z Fold 8 lack that compatibility, partly due to concerns about foldable screen durability. The iPhone Duo, meanwhile, works with the Apple Pencil on both its cover screen and its inner display.
