Apple acknowledges an issue affecting the interior, folding screen on a ‘small number of iPhone Duo units.’

A new claim from a generally reliable leaker details most of the specifications for the forthcoming iPhone 18e, with the only significant upgrade being the processor.

In its promo materials, Apple mostly highlighted StandBy in tent mode, in which you fold the iPhone Duo halfway, then position it on a flat surface like a little tent. When the phone goes to sleep, it will launch a beautiful StandBy screen, with several customizable views.

It’s now been around three days since an iPhone Duo owner complained on the MacRumors forums that something was “a little off” during their FaceTime calls. The note prompted a bit of an investigation,

An iPhone 18e will likely be announced in the spring, alongside a baseline iPhone 18 and a rumored second generation of the iPhone Air.

Apple's iPhone Duo costs $1,999 in the U.S.

According to the report, the iPhone 18e will have a 60Hz, 6.12-inch OLED display, Apple's new A20 chip, a single, 48-megapixel camera, and a 24-megapixel front camera.

We compared the iPhone Duo with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Ultra, Pixel 11 Pro Fold, iPad mini, and even old devices like the original Pixel Fold and Microsoft Surface Duo.
