Resultadospreliminares de benchmark do chip A20 Pro, que alimenta o iPhone 18 Pro, o iPhone 18 Pro Max e o iPhone Duo, surgiram na manhã de hoje no banco de dados do Geekbench 7, oferecendo uma primeira visão do desempenho de CPU1Central processing unit, ou unidade central de processamento. e GPU2Graphics processing unit, ou unidade de processamento gráfico. dos novos modelos antes mesmo de chegarem ao mercado.
Com base nesses resultados iniciais, o chip A20 Pro parece oferecer um desempenho cerca de 21% a 23% mais rápido em single-core (média de 4.722 pontos), além de 27% a 28% mais rápido em multi-core (média de 12.626 pontos) em comparação com o chip A19 Pro dos iPhones 17 Pro/17 Pro Max.
Talvez não surpreenda que os resultados do iPhone 18 Pro Max sejam praticamente iguais aos do iPhone 18 Pro. Uma diferença aparece nas pontuações do teste Metal: o modelo menor marcou 64.069 pontos, enquanto o maior atingiu 64.915 pontos.
Ainda assim, os resultados gráficos alinham-se, em linhas gerais, à afirmação da Apple — presente no comunicado de imprensa e na página do iPhone 18 Pro — de que o A20 Pro oferece uma performance gráfica até 40% mais rápida que o chip A19 Pro.
Também foram vistos resultados de benchmark do iPhone 18 Pro Max no AnTuTu, que registrou uma pontuação geral de 3.551.073. A pontuação da CPU, especificamente, foi de 920.410, enquanto a GPU alcançou 1.397.374 pontos. Os testes de memória e UX registraram 470.245 e 763.044 pontos, respectivamente. Para fins de comparação, o iPhone 17 Pro Max obteve uma média de 2.275.118 pontos, colocando o novo modelo substancialmente à frente no benchmark.
Vale ressaltar que esses testes de desempenho pontuais — que ainda não foram confirmados — não indicam como os dispositivos se comportarão durante sessões prolongadas de jogos ou outras cargas de trabalho exigentes; afinal, os resultados de testes no mundo real poderão apresentar algumas diferenças.
Apple has officially introduced the AirPods 5, bringing a notable upgrade to its entry-level wireless earbud lineup without increasing the starting price.
The biggest change is that Apple is no longer offering a separate non-noise-cancelling version. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is now standard on AirPods 5, making this the first generation in the series to include ANC across the lineup.
Prices start at $129, while the version with a wireless charging case costs $149. That means Apple has added a major feature without raising the entry-level price.
AirPods 5 Keep the Familiar Half-In-Ear Design
At first glance, AirPods 5 look largely unchanged from the previous generation. Apple continues to use a semi-in-ear design, rather than switching to silicone ear tips.
This design choice creates an interesting balance. Traditional in-ear earbuds can generally provide stronger passive isolation because their ear tips form a tighter seal, while semi-in-ear earbuds can feel more comfortable during extended listening.
For users who dislike the pressure associated with sealed in-ear headphones, AirPods 5 may therefore offer a more comfortable approach to noise cancellation.
ANC Becomes a Standard Feature
The headline upgrade is active noise cancellation.
Apple says AirPods 5 deliver up to a 50% improvement in noise reduction compared with AirPods 4. Instead of requiring buyers to choose a more expensive noise-cancelling configuration, Apple has made ANC part of the standard AirPods 5 package.
The earbuds also support Adaptive Audio, which can automatically balance Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode according to the surrounding environment.
This makes the AirPods 5 more practical for users who move between quiet indoor spaces, busy streets, public transportation and other changing environments.
Up to 5 Hours of Listening on a Single Charge
With Active Noise Cancellation enabled, AirPods 5 can provide up to five hours of listening time on a single charge.
The charging case extends total listening time to up to 20 hours, giving users several additional charging cycles throughout the day.
While the five-hour figure is not class-leading compared with some larger wireless earbuds, it is reasonable for compact semi-in-ear headphones. The case is also important for users who typically listen in shorter sessions and recharge the earbuds between uses.
IP57 Protection Adds More Durability
AirPods 5 also receive an IP57 rating, giving the earbuds greater protection against dust and water exposure than many basic wireless earbuds.
That additional durability could be useful for everyday activities such as commuting, walking or exercising. However, an IP rating should not be interpreted as making the earbuds suitable for every type of water exposure.
Apple Intelligence Features Expand Their Role
The new AirPods 5 also support several Apple Intelligence-related features, including real-time translation and access to broader knowledge-based functions.
This reflects Apple’s wider strategy of turning its earbuds into more than simple audio accessories. With tighter integration between hardware, software and Apple’s AI features, AirPods can increasingly serve as a hands-free interface for information and communication.
The usefulness of these features will naturally depend on device compatibility, supported languages and Apple’s software ecosystem.
AirPods 5 Price and Availability
Apple is keeping the entry price at $129, despite adding Active Noise Cancellation as a standard feature.
The pricing is:
AirPods 5: $129
AirPods 5 with wireless charging case: $149
The decision to maintain the previous starting price makes ANC the most significant value improvement in this generation.
What Makes AirPods 5 Different?
The AirPods 5 are not a dramatic redesign, but Apple has focused the upgrade on features that can have a noticeable effect on everyday use.
The combination of standard ANC, Adaptive Audio, a comfortable semi-in-ear design, IP57 protection and Apple Intelligence features gives the new earbuds a broader feature set without moving the starting price above $129.
For users who prioritize comfort and want noise cancellation without the tighter fit of traditional in-ear earbuds, AirPods 5 could be one of the more interesting additions to Apple’s audio lineup.
Apple has officially launched the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, bringing a major round of upgrades to its high-end smartphone lineup. The new models focus on four key areas: processing performance, camera flexibility, sustained performance and battery life.
The iPhone 18 Pro starts at 9,999 yuan in China, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max begins at 10,999 yuan. Both models will open for pre-orders at 8 PM on September 12, with sales starting September 18.
Four Colors and a Refined Pro Design
The iPhone 18 Pro series is available in four finishes. Apple retains familiar black and silver options while introducing Glacier Blue and Burgundy Red, giving the new Pro models a more distinctive appearance.
The overall design remains closely related to the previous generation, but Apple has made another change to the front display area. The Dynamic Island has been reduced in size, allowing Apple to maintain its existing interactive features while taking up less screen space.
The iPhone 18 Pro features a 6.3-inch display, while the larger iPhone 18 Pro Max comes with a 6.9-inch screen. This keeps the two models clearly separated by size while maintaining the same general design language.
2nm A20 Pro Chip Brings a Major Performance Upgrade
The biggest change inside the iPhone 18 Pro series is Apple’s new A20 Pro chip, which is built using a 2nm manufacturing process.
The processor uses a six-core CPU configuration consisting of two performance cores and four efficiency cores. Apple says the performance cores can deliver up to a 20% improvement over the previous generation.
Graphics performance also gets a significant upgrade. The A20 Pro moves to a seven-core GPU architecture, with peak GPU performance reportedly increasing by up to 40%.
The chip’s AI capabilities have also been expanded. Apple equips the A20 Pro with two Neural Engine groups containing a combined 32 cores, along with a new generation of neural accelerators. Eight-bit floating-point processing can reach twice the previous speed, while memory bandwidth increases by 50%.
These improvements are particularly relevant as on-device AI becomes a larger part of the smartphone experience. More processing capacity can help Apple handle demanding AI workloads without relying entirely on cloud-based services.
New Vapor Chamber Helps Sustain Performance
Higher peak performance is only useful if a phone can maintain it under sustained workloads. To address this, Apple has added a new vapor chamber cooling system to the iPhone 18 Pro series.
The improved thermal design works alongside the A20 Pro to manage heat during demanding tasks such as gaming, video processing and intensive AI workloads.
Apple says sustained performance is up to 40% higher than the previous generation and can reach roughly double the level of the iPhone 16 Pro series.
That makes thermal management one of the more important changes in the new generation. Instead of focusing solely on short benchmark bursts, Apple appears to be placing greater emphasis on maintaining high performance over longer periods.
iPhone 18 Pro Gets Its First Variable-Aperture Main Camera
Camera hardware is another major highlight of the iPhone 18 Pro series.
The phones feature a 48-megapixel Fusion main camera, but this generation adds something new: a variable aperture.
The lens uses a six-blade aperture mechanism with four selectable aperture levels. This allows the camera to adjust how much light reaches the sensor according to the shooting environment.
In practical terms, variable aperture gives the main camera more flexibility than a fixed-aperture design. It can help balance light intake in darker scenes while also providing greater control in situations such as portraits and backlit photography.
The addition is particularly notable because Apple is bringing a traditionally camera-focused hardware feature to its mainstream Pro smartphone system.
Up to 30 Hours of Battery Life
Battery endurance has also received a substantial upgrade.
The iPhone 18 Pro is rated for up to 24 hours of battery life, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max can reach 30 hours.
Charging has been improved as well. Apple says the new models can reach 50% battery capacity in 15 minutes, giving users a faster way to recover power when they are short on time.
The combination of a more efficient 2nm chip, improved thermal management and increased battery endurance could make the Pro Max particularly attractive to users who prioritize long daily usage.
iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max China Pricing
Apple is offering both models with four storage configurations in China.
iPhone 18 Pro
256GB: 9,999 yuan
512GB: 11,999 yuan
1TB: 15,499 yuan
2TB: 20,499 yuan
iPhone 18 Pro Max
256GB: 10,999 yuan
512GB: 12,999 yuan
1TB: 16,499 yuan
2TB: 21,499 yuan
Pre-orders will begin at 8 PM on September 12, while the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will officially go on sale on September 18.
What Makes the iPhone 18 Pro Series Different?
The iPhone 18 Pro generation is more than a routine processor refresh. The combination of the 2nm A20 Pro chip, new vapor chamber cooling, variable-aperture main camera and longer battery life gives Apple several hardware upgrades to highlight.
The variable-aperture camera is arguably the most visible photography change, while the new cooling system could have a bigger impact on users who regularly play demanding games or run intensive applications.
At the same time, the 9,999-yuan starting price for the iPhone 18 Pro keeps Apple’s premium Pro lineup firmly in the flagship segment. For buyers considering an upgrade, the most meaningful question may be whether the improved sustained performance, camera flexibility and endurance justify the higher price compared with the previous generation.
Por padrão, quando a Apple lança novos iPhones e certas gerações de Apple Watches, ela aproveita para anunciar as novidades dos processadores que equipam esses dispositivos. Neste ano, não foi diferente.
Com base no mais recente processo de fabricação de 2 nanômetros, o A20 Pro traz novidades na CPU 1Graphics processing unit, ou unidade de processamento gráfico., na GPU 2Graphics processing unit, ou unidade de processamento gráfico. e no Neural Engine.
A CPU traz 50% mais largura de banda de memória do que o A19 Pro, que equipa os iPhones 17 Pro/17 Pro Max, enquanto a GPU com 7 núcleos é até 40% mais rápida.
Há um novo Neural Engine duplo de 16 núcleos com o dobro de processamento para inteligência no aparelho, totalizando 32 núcleos — o dobro do poder de processamento de IA visto no A19 Pro.
A Apple também aprimorou o processo de acondicionamento do chip, colocando-o lado a lado com a memória — inspirado nos chips da série M, de Macs e iPads. Na prática, há melhorias na circulação/dissipação do calor, aumentando ainda mais o desempenho térmico do aparelho.

Em relação ao iPhone Duo, o A20 Pro desbloqueia o suporte a múltiplas telas e transições mais suaves entre elas.
C2
Parece mentira, mas o C2 é como se fosse a terceira geração de modems celulares da Apple — já que ela lançou, só no ano passado, o C1 no iPhone 16e e o C1X no iPhone Air.
O C2 trabalha em conjunto com o chip A20 Pro para oferecer uma maior qualidade e confiabilidade da rede celular, permitindo uploads até 50% mais rápidos (comparando com o C1X) ao mesmo tempo que consome menos bateria. Nos Estados Unidos, o C2 é também o primeiro modem da Apple a suportar redes 5G mmWave.
Curiosamente, a página americana de especificações técnicas dos iPhones 18 Pro/18 Pro Max mostra que apenas o 18 Pro (modelo com a menor tela) é equipado com o C2, enquanto a versão maior aparenta ainda estar equipada com um modem da Qualcomm.
Apple's tech specs page seems to indicate the iPhone 18 Pro has the C2 modem and the 18 Pro Max sticks with Qualcomm. pic.twitter.com/6hSrzgu2td
A página de especificações técnicas da Apple parece indicar que o iPhone 18 Pro tem o modem C2 e o 18 Pro Max continua com a Qualcomm.
S11
Depois de um hiato de três anos, o Apple Watch finalmente ganhou um novo processador! Por ser um SoC 3System on a chip, ou sistema em um chip., dentro dele temos 2 núcleos de 64 bits, um chip W3 para conexões sem fio, um chip de banda ultralarga de segunda geração e um Neural Engine de 4 núcleos.
Com um design mais compacto e eficiente para oferecer um maior desempenho, o S11 desbloqueia vários dos recursos de inteligência dos Apple Watches Series 12 e Ultra 4 — como a variabilidade de frequência cardíaca (VFC) a cada cinco minutos e leituras em segundo plano a cada cinco segundos.
Divulgação/Apple
A Inteligência de Áudio (Audio Inteligence), que usa o microfone integrado e a segurança do novo chip, pode entender melhor os sons ao seu redor.
Divulgação/Apple
Isso é possível graças à inclusão do chamado Secure Exclave, um compartimento dedicado que processa o áudio de forma isolada do sistema e o exclui de forma imediata — garantindo, assim, total privacidade.
Não sei vocês, mas estou ansioso para ver os primeiros testes com essas novas belezinhas! 😄

Apple today introduced iPhone Duo, the first foldable iPhone. Opened, it is the thinnest iPhone ever, with a 7.6-inch inner display that provides a large canvas for viewing content, gaming, and multitasking, and a special nano-texture finish that minimizes glare for an unparalleled viewing experience. Closed, the 5.4-inch outer display delivers 90 percent of the screen area of iPhone 18 Pro in a compact, pocketable design. Both displays share the same aspect ratio, so content scales proportionally, ensuring visual continuity. iPhone Duo is built to last with an innovative hardware design and a precision hinge that offers a smooth, satisfying feel with every use.
[…]
The 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera — the same as on iPhone 18 Pro models — captures wider fields of view and enables macro photography, while the Center Stage front camera can automatically take photos and videos in any orientation, so users don’t have to rotate iPhone for landscape selfies. Upgraded Photographic Styles with new texture and grain controls let users further dial in their desired appearance and have more creative control over their photos. […] The foldable design with dual displays unlocks camera experiences that are not possible on any other iPhone.
[…]
Lock Screen controls, the Dock on the Home Screen, and app navigation and controls now appear on the side to maximize vertical space for content. When iPhone Duo is open, the display shows two Home Screen pages with Today View — a vertically scrolling list of customizable widgets — on the left. The status bar includes a circular, flexible system that nestles into the corner of the screen, showing relevant information like Wi-Fi, cellular strength, battery, and more.
[…]
The expansive display supercharges productivity, letting users do more at once with new multitasking capabilities. Split View allows users to open two apps side by side on iPhone for the first time.
[…]
iPhone Duo is available in star white and night sky, and starts at $1,999, or $83.29 per month for 24 months, in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB storage capacities.
I love the idea of the larger screen and how it can be balanced half-folded like a laptop, upside-down, or on the short side. The camera is better than I expected. The price is high enough to make me lose interest but perhaps not unreasonable if it can actually replace your iPad. My main concern is that the wide passport-style shape doesn’t look very comfortable to hold or keep in your pocket. It’s great that it can unfold, but the compact form factor is how most people will probably hold it most of the time. How well does the side Touch ID work if you’re left-handed?

Find out how to use size classes instead of interface orientation, handle asymmetric safe areas, and test Split View multitasking to ensure your app shines in all the ways people use it …
The app design implications alone that are now basically forced onto app developers is nuts. Vision Pro was opt in but… all iPhone apps have to support this new device right? What a nightmare. Ugh, websites? New safe areas?
As an anecdotal data point, I’ve had my foldable OnePlus Open for over 2 and a half years. It’s fallen on tile and cement, been kicked accidentally, and swatted across a room by my cat. The hinge and screens have no problems.
In a joint interview with Tom's Guide and TechRadar, new Apple CEO John Ternus and marketing chief Greg Joswiak explained why the company waited until now to release a foldable, its design philosophy, and how it kept the iPhone Duo under wraps.
“The iPhone Duo’s under-display camera wasn’t placed in the top-right corner of the inner screen because of engineering difficulties,” said the leaker in a Weibo post this morning.
In the end, every Apple product—and probably every product—is a story of trade-offs. So, the thinking went, what will we give up to get the benefit of a small iPhone that unfolds into a larger iPhone?
The answer: some things, but less than I’d feared.
The company’s view is clear: the iPhone Duo, even when open in all of its glory, may evoke an iPad, but it is very much not an iPad.
[…]
It’s not an iPad that you fold up to put in your pocket. Or an iPad with a little iPhone glued to the front. It’s not running iPadOS. You won’t be installing or running iPad apps.
Apple’s iPhone Duo is the first iPhone that can run two apps side by side, but anyone expecting the sort of freedom that Split View offers on iPad might want to temper their expectations.
I’ve been using Samsung’s latest folding phone that has a very similar form factor to what Apple just announced, and it’s gotten me accustomed to what the folding phone experience is. I personally very much like it, and it’s the most joy an Android phone has brought me in close to a decade. That said, I just watched Apple’s iPhone Duo unveiling, and it immediately made my Samsung phone feel behind the curve.
Most of the UX we saw so far was both predictable and familiar to anyone who’s played with a Samsung Z Fold (Apple did not invent screen splits, app swaps or drag and drop), and so was the camera placement.
Charging is the least of the problems. Because the Duo doesn’t have the magnetic attachment for Pencil Pro, there’s no way to even pair a Pencil Pro.
[…]
Imagine you own an iPad Pro and a Pencil Pro, and you love using the Pencil. You’ve always wanted to be able to use a Pencil with your iPhone. Now you can, if you buy a Duo. But you also have to buy a different Pencil — and then pack two different Pencils whenever you leave the house with both your iPad and iPhone. That’s ridiculous.
Also let’s not forget that the USB-C Apple Pencil doesn’t have pressure sensitivity, so the artists are already posting their disappointed reactions. I feel like this backs up that @markgurman report that they were planning on creating a bespoke Apple Pencil for the iPhone Duo that later got cancelled, and the USB-C version is the fallback.
Folding smartphones are extremely popular in China: there are about as many foldables sold in China as in the rest of the world. Samsung, Google, Huawei, Motorola, Xiaomi, and other brands sell devices like this. Apple will likely sell a lot of devices in China, but given the reactions I’ve seen, they are poised to have a successful product elsewhere, in spite of the high cost.
[…]
For me, a folding phone would mean that for non-work tasks, I would have a larger display, not quite as big as my 11″ iPad Pro. I doubt I would do much work on it, but if I need to check my online accounting app or make a quick edit to an article on my blog, that larger display would be much more practical than my iPhone.
In addition, my eyesight isn’t great. Since the iPhone 8 was released with a larger screen size, I have always bought larger iPhone models. Even with that size, I need to zoom the text on my iPhone a notch above the standard size. A larger display for when I’m reading articles would be a help, not to mention a small, portable device that makes it easier to read PDFs.
I may not be the target audience, but I’m sure there are people who aren’t price-sensitive, spend a lot of time watching videos or playing games, and only ever carry their phones in a pocket or bag. But I don’t regularly encounter such people—I hear complaints about phones being too big, but never that they’re not big enough.
I do wonder whether iPhone Duo’s splitscreen multitasking mode will come back to iPad. People have been complaining all year that it went away, but it feels like Duo’s implementation is a simplified, easier-to-understand model. It might make sense to bring back in the future, especially for smaller iPads.
Apple today announced iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, delivering the most advanced pro camera system in an iPhone, and huge leaps in battery life and performance. The new 48MP Fusion Main camera, now with variable aperture, brings creative control that wasn’t possible before, and new Pro controls let users customize their experience in the Camera app. Both models feature a smaller and even more useful Dynamic Island, as well as A20 Pro and a next-generation vapor chamber that together deliver the highest sustained performance in iPhone history.
[…]
Pro controls is a new customizable experience in the Camera app for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max that makes it easier than ever for users to access their most used settings and introduces new options for manual control.
[…]
When a photo is taken in the new Reference mode, the camera captures signed sensor data that Private Cloud Compute develops into an unalterable reference image.
[…]
The upgraded Dynamic Island can now show three Live Activities at once[…]
[…]
eSIM-only models deliver up to 36 hours of video playback on iPhone 18 Pro and up to 45 hours of video playback on iPhone 18 Pro Max.
[…]
iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be available in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB storage capacities. Available in burgundy, glacier, silver, and black, iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,199 or $49.95 per month, and iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,299 or $54.12 per month for 24 months.
What I’m most happy to see is the ability to increase the depth of field. I don’t understand what Apple Reference Image is doing that it needs to be uploaded/offloaded to Private Cloud Compute.
Pro Controls is built around the variable aperture on the new Main camera. Six laser-cut blades move smoothly between four aperture settings, and the Camera app can adjust aperture automatically based on depth of field and lighting, or users can take manual control themselves for what Apple calls “truly unique shots that weren’t possible before” on an iPhone.
Pro Controls works across both photo and video capture. It also introduces Smart Focus Tracking, which uses on-device AI models to lock onto a subject and maintain focus even if that subject briefly leaves the frame and comes back into view.
Depois de anos de especulações, a Apple enfim revelou o iPhone Duo, a sua estreia oficial no segmento dos smartphones com tela dobrável.
O formato já é conhecido por quem acompanhou os rumores e viu as mudanças recentes entre os dobráveis de outras empresas, como a HUAWEI e a Samsung: o aparelho conta com uma tela externa (Ceramic Shield 2) de 5,4 polegadas e uma tela interna de 7,6″, seguindo um formato parecido com o de um passaporte. Ambas também têm exatamente a mesma proporção, e o acabamento fosco (nano-texture) está presente na tela interna.
Divulgação/Apple
Quando aberto, o iPhone Duo torna-se o iPhone mais fino já vendido pela Apple, com 5,2mm. O mecanismo de dobradiça também foi outro ponto particularmente trabalhado pela companhia (e o possível motivo de tanta demora para esse lançamento), sendo composto por mais de 100 componentes — a tampa da dobradiça, por sua vez, é impressa em 3D.
Divulgação/Apple
Outro elemento que vale ser mencionado é a volta do Touch ID nos iPhones, já que a finura do aparelho não comporta os sensores do Face ID. A biometria digital está localizada na lateral direita do aparelho.
Também estão agora nessa lateral os principais controles em nível de software do iOS 27, incluindo a barra de status (que ganhou um novo design mais compacto), as barras de ferramentas dos apps e até mesmo o Dock, que agora fica na vertical. Todos os principais apps do sistema foram adaptados para o novo formato de modo a aproveitar o maior espaço disponível, além de permitirem que você use o smartphone com ele parcialmente fechado.

O modo Em Espera (Stand By) é compatível com ambos os displays, transformando o iPhone Duo em um verdadeiro porta-retrato interativo ou em um relógio digital, só para citar alguns exemplos. A Apple também introduziu novos mostradores para esse recurso focados nos apps Calendário (Calendar) e Tempo (Weather).

Assim como no iPad, é possível colocar dois apps no modo Split View ao usar a tela interna e, em breve (provavelmente depois de um update), usar uma Apple Pencil (USB-C) para fazer ilustrações e anotações em apps suportados.

O iPhone Duo vem equipado com o A20 Pro, chip com uma litografia de 2 nanômetros, possuindo 6 núcleos destinados a CPU 1Central processing unit, ou unidade central de processamento. (2 de desempenho e 4 de eficiência) e uma GPU 2Graphics processing unit, ou unidade de processamento gráfico. de 7 núcleos, além de um Display Engine novo para “empurrar” as duas telas. Com tudo isso, a Apple promete uma performance sustentada até 35% maior em comparação com o iPhone 17 Pro.
O novíssimo modem C2 também está presente no primeiro dobrável da Apple, oferecendo conexões até 50% mais rápidas e conectividade 5G mmWave (apenas nos Estados Unidos). Ele também está mais eficiente do ponto de vista energético, consumindo 15% menos energia em comparação com o modem C1X. Responsável por possibilidade conexões Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 e Thread, o chip N1 também deu as caras nesse smartphone.
O dobrável conta com duas câmeras frontais, uma para cada tela do aparelho; mais tradicional, a câmera frontal da tela externa (Center Stage) fica no canto superior direito do dispositivo, servindo também como uma Ilha Dinâmica (Dynamic Island), enquanto a câmera frontal da tela interna (FaceTime camera) está um pouco mais ao centro e, vejam só, fica posicionada sob o display, aparecendo apenas quando acionada — seja para capturar fotos/vídeos ou para exibir Atividades ao Vivo (Live Activities).
Divulgação/Apple
Já no conjunto de câmeras traseiras, localizado no módulo de câmera horizontal em formato de pílula, temos a câmera Fusion principal de 48 megapixels — a qual conta com shutter lag zero e também pode simular uma lente telefoto de 2x — e uma lente Fusion ultra-angular de também 48MP — mesmíssima lente dos iPhones 18 Pro. E, por conta da tela externa, usuários podem tirar selfies facilmente com essas lentes, que também são capazes de capturar fotos automaticamente graças ao recurso Smart Take, que detecta poses.
Divulgação/Apple
Além de novas formas de navegar pelo sistema, as duas telas também desbloqueiam maneiras inéditas de capturar imagens. De acordo com a Apple, a FaceTime camera permite realizar chamadas de vídeo com o iPhone Duo completamente aberto ou com ele parcialmente fechado — enquanto fica apoiado numa mesa, por exemplo. O iPhone Duo também pode exibir a imagem de uma pessoa durante uma chamada de vídeo na tela externa, permitindo que outras pessoas participem da conversa sem precisar compartilhar uma câmera com o dono do aparelho.
Mesmo com uma espessura reduzida, teremos uma das maiores baterias já utilizadas pela Apple em um iPhone, capaz de reproduzir até 31 horas ininterruptas de vídeo com a tela interna e até 44 horas com o display de fora. Em uso alternado, o iPhone Duo pode durar até 24 horas com uma única carga, de modo que apenas 15 minutos na tomada (via cabo) são suficientes para garantir 50% de carga. Carregadores MagSafe e Qi2 também são suportados.
Em termos de durabilidade, o iPhone Duo vem com a certificação IP68 contra água e poeira, além de contar, como dito, com a tecnologia Ceramic Shield 2 na tela externa. A primeira geração do Ceramic Shield também está presente nesse aparelho na forma do vidro traseiro.
Preço e disponibilidade
O iPhone Duo contará com opções de 256GB, 512GB, 1TB e 2TB de armazenamento, com o valor inicial de US$2.000 nos Estados Unidos e podendo chegar a US$3.200. Ele pode ser adquirido nas cores branco-estrela (star white) e céu noturno (night sky).
No Brasil e em Portugal, o dobrável sairá pelos preços iniciais de R$22.000 e 2.400€, respectivamente.
Nos EUA, no Brasil e em Portugal, a pré-venda começará no dia 16 de outubro (uma sexta-feira). O lançamento geral ocorrerá no dia 23/10 (outra sexta) em todas essas localidades.

iPhone Duo is available in two refined colors: star white and night sky. Pre-orders begin Friday, October 16, with availability beginning Friday, October 23.
“iPhone Duo is the most transformational change to iPhone since the original. With an entirely new design and intuitive experiences, it shows what’s possible when hardware and software are engineered together and redefines what it means to use a foldable phone,” said John Ternus, Apple’s CEO, in a statement. “With the largest display ever on iPhone that still fits easily in your pocket, combined with the power of A20 Pro, iPhone Duo helps you stay more immersed and productive wherever you go, whether you’re enjoying content, multitasking across apps, or gaming.”
iPhone Duo features a 7.6-inch inner display that provides a large canvas for viewing content, gaming, and multitasking. Closed, it’s similar in size to a passport with a beautiful 5.4-inch outer display.
Two Displays, One Breakthrough Design
iPhone Duo delivers Apple’s largest iPhone display in an entirely new design. Closed, iPhone Duo is comfortable to use one-handed and fits easily in a pocket, with a 5.4-inch outer Super Retina XDR display that provides 90 percent of the screen area of iPhone 18 Pro. Opened, the 7.6-inch inner Super Retina XDR display is 50 percent larger than iPhone 18 Pro Max, offering an immersive canvas for everything users do. A premium nano-texture finish reduces glare and reflections, creating a matte surface that minimizes crease visibility and feels great to touch. Beneath the inner display, a new FaceTime camera stays hidden when not in use to keep the screen uninterrupted. Both displays share the same aspect ratio, designed for how people use their iPhone, so the experience feels continuous whether iPhone Duo is open or closed. The displays also feature ProMotion, Always On, and 3000 nits of peak outdoor brightness. Later this year, iPhone Duo will support Apple Pencil with USB-C, allowing users to take notes, sketch, or mark up documents on either display.
Touch ID is integrated into the side button for easy, secure, and consistent authentication whether iPhone Duo is open or closed, and users can unlock iPhone Duo using their Apple Watch. The design also features Camera Control to quickly launch the camera, including the brand-new Siri Camera mode, which lets Siri see what the user sees to answer questions and take action.
Designed for Durability
iPhone Duo is built to last and feels exceptionally solid with every use. It’s crafted from grade 5 titanium for incredible strength, with an enclosure that has an elegant mirror-polished finish and a 3D-printed hinge cover with a contrasting micro-blasted finish. Ceramic Shield protects the back of iPhone Duo, and Ceramic Shield 2 on the front has 3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation. iPhone Duo is also splash-, water-, and dust-resistant with an IP68 rating. The hinge is engineered from more than 100 components to precisely control opening and closing and support the center of the display, delivering a smooth, satisfying feel. Internally, support ribs reinforce the structure for added stiffness, while antenna splits with ceramic fiber inserts enhance the frame’s rigidity.
The inner display is designed to withstand the wear of everyday use. A scratch-resistant coating and a nano-textured cover layer — made from a custom polymer with up to 40 percent higher stiffness than other materials used in the industry — protect the surface. High-strength glass sits above and below the folding display panel, with custom adhesives that allow the layers to glide past one another like the pages of a book, relieving bend stress, and a titanium plate at the bottom further enhances durability.
An Advanced Camera System with New Experiences
iPhone Duo delivers an advanced camera system that brings all-new experiences made possible by its breakthrough design. With the new 48MP Fusion Main camera, users can shoot sharp photos at up to 48MP resolution with zero shutter lag, capture in the 24MP default for incredible image quality at a file size perfect for sharing, and get closer to the subject with an integrated optical-quality 2x Telephoto. The 48MP Fusion Main camera also benefits from a new computational image pipeline for sharp details, and excels in low light thanks to a large sensor, fast aperture, and sensor-shift optical image stabilization.
The 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera — the same as on iPhone 18 Pro models — captures wider fields of view and enables macro photography, while the Center Stage front camera can automatically take photos and videos in any orientation, so users don’t have to rotate iPhone for landscape selfies. Upgraded Photographic Styles with new texture and grain controls let users further dial in their desired appearance and have more creative control over their photos. Under the inner display, a new FaceTime camera helps users connect with friends and family whether iPhone Duo is held open or propped on a surface for hands-free calls.
The foldable design with dual displays unlocks camera experiences that are not possible on any other iPhone.
• With Smart Take, users no longer miss out on being in the photo because they are behind the shutter or racing to beat a timer.
• On-device AI models running on A20 Pro analyze the scene in real time and automatically capture photos when subjects are posing.
• Users can take a selfie with the higher-resolution rear cameras and preview their shot on the outer display.
• Duo Preview shows the live preview on the outer display, helping subjects pose, check their framing, and guide the shot.
• Kid Cue plays animations from Peanuts on the outer display to grab the attention of children so they look at the camera.
• Duo FaceTime lets people who are with the user join a video call on the outer display, so everyone can share the moment without crowding around one screen.
iPhone Duo supports 4K120 fps recording in Dolby Vision on the 48MP Fusion Main camera, unlocking gorgeous slow-motion effects by adjusting the playback speed. Users can now apply Cinematic effects after capture at up to 60 fps, and Audio Mix introduces new algorithms that deliver higher-quality voices and can now isolate music. Time-lapse supports 4K in Dolby Vision HDR, and users can prop iPhone Duo up without needing a tripod to easily capture longer-duration videos.
A Reimagined Yet Familiar iOS Experience
iOS 27 is tailored for iPhone Duo, delivering a familiar and intuitive experience that introduces new ways to interact with iPhone. Lock Screen controls, the Dock on the Home Screen, and app navigation and controls now appear on the side to maximize vertical space for content. When iPhone Duo is open, the display shows two Home Screen pages with Today View — a vertically scrolling list of customizable widgets — on the left. The status bar includes a circular, flexible system that nestles into the corner of the screen, showing relevant information like Wi-Fi, cellular strength, battery, and more. The Dynamic Island is also redesigned to fit vertically on the side of the outer and inner displays, and expands to show Live Activities and alerts. iOS seamlessly adapts to the new ways to use iPhone Duo — content reacts as it folds, reorients when turned to the side, and switches to the appropriate display when flipped over.
Apple apps are optimized for iPhone Duo, and developers can easily adapt their apps using the new and updated APIs in the latest SDKs, and upcoming support for iPhone Duo in Device Hub in Xcode. Third-party apps, including Netflix, Zoom, and Slack, are already taking advantage of the folding design to deliver immersive experiences that make the most of the larger display and new ways to use iPhone Duo.
The expansive display supercharges productivity, letting users do more at once with new multitasking capabilities. Split View allows users to open two apps side by side on iPhone for the first time. Users can also quickly swap between apps; open two windows of the same app, like Safari; easily have a conversation with Siri AI while looking at content on the other side of the screen; and save pairs of apps to come back to later.
StandBy gets a major upgrade on iPhone Duo. Set iPhone Duo down and it enters StandBy on either the outer or inner display — even when it’s not charging — turning the device into a photo frame, hub for widgets, clock, and more. New Calendar and Weather faces join existing Clock and Modular faces, while the Photos face is updated to display Shared Albums. Every face now offers deeper customization, with new colors, fonts, and complications to choose from.
The Next Generation of Apple Intelligence and an All‑New Siri
iPhone Duo gives users access to Siri AI, an entirely new version of Siri that is rolling out in beta with iOS 27. Powered by Apple Intelligence, Siri is profoundly more personal, capable, and conversational, and becomes even more useful on the large inner display. Powerful AI capabilities paired with personal context make iPhone Duo an intelligent personal hub with privacy and security at its core.
Siri AI can draw on personal context understanding to help users find what they need in the moment across messages, emails, photos, and more; use onscreen awareness to take action related to the content on a user’s screen; and answer questions about virtually any topic. Users can write with Siri by simply describing what they need. The all-new Siri app also makes it easy to revisit past conversations or kick off new ones, with conversational history synced privately across products with iCloud.
Additionally, Apple Intelligence makes apps smarter and more useful. Users can improve the composition of a photo after it’s been taken with Spatial Reframing, Extend, and upgraded Clean Up. Image Playground also now offers photorealistic imagery, and with upcoming support for the SynthID standard, users can identify images generated or edited with AI.6
In Safari, Notify Me helps users monitor web pages for changes, like product restocks or price drops, to stay on top of updates. To protect users’ privacy, Apple Intelligence uses on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, which extends the privacy and security of iPhone into the cloud.
Pro Performance with A20 Pro and Advanced Thermal Management
Powered by A20 Pro — the same chip in iPhone 18 Pro models — and paired with an advanced thermal management system, iPhone Duo delivers up to 35 percent better sustained performance than iPhone 17 Pro. A new chip package inspired by M-series Apple silicon connects A20 Pro directly to a custom vapor chamber, dissipating heat and powering multitasking, gaming, and complex AI workloads. A new display engine drives the inner and outer displays simultaneously and enables a fluid experience as users transition between them. The 6-core CPU is up to 20 percent faster than A19 Pro, delivering the fastest CPU in a smartphone; the 7-core GPU is up to 40 percent faster and more power efficient; and the new Dual 16-core Neural Engine offers 2x the compute power to run on-device AI models. A20 Pro also delivers 50 percent more unified memory bandwidth and is built on the latest 2-nanometer process technology.
Impressive All-Day Battery Life
iPhone Duo is designed with one high-energy battery on each side to maximize capacity while efficiently using internal space. A combination of Apple silicon and energy rebalancing algorithms allows the batteries to operate seamlessly as one, so users get up to 31 hours of video playback when using the inner display, up to 44 hours of video playback when using the outer display, and up to 24 hours of usage per charge when both displays are used equally. Users can also enjoy fast charging — iPhone Duo can charge up to 50 percent in around 20 minutes or wirelessly charge up to 50 percent in around 30 minutes with a MagSafe or Qi2 charger.
Powerful Wireless Capabilities
iPhone Duo features an eSIM-only design worldwide that saves internal space to maximize battery capacity. eSIM offers greater flexibility, better security, and seamless connectivity compared to traditional physical SIM cards, and as an industry standard, it is supported by over 500 carriers around the world, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and more. iOS 27 also introduces iPhone Handoff, which allows users with supported carriers to easily switch back and forth between two iPhone models with the same phone number.
N1, an Apple-designed wireless networking chip, enables Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread, while C2, Apple’s next-generation cellular modem system, brings AI-powered improvements to cellular quality and reliability, and now supports mmWave in the U.S.
Beautiful New Accessories
To complement iPhone Duo, Apple is introducing beautiful new accessories. The iPhone Duo Folio — available in navy blue and taupe — features an integrated kickstand that supports a wide range of angles for reading, viewing content, or FaceTime, and folds away neatly when not in use. The iPhone Duo Case — available in sand and navy blue — is thin and light, with a protective two-part design that wraps around both sides of the device. Both cases are compatible with MagSafe, Qi2 25W, and Qi-certified chargers. With built-in magnets that align perfectly with iPhone Duo, they offer a magical attach experience and fast wireless charging.

Apple holds its biggest product event of the year on Wednesday, September 9, at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT at Apple Park in Cupertino. The “Surprise and Shine” keynote will be livestreamed on Apple’s website, the Apple TV app, and YouTube. It is also the first major launch under new CEO John Ternus.
The company is expected to skip a standard iPhone 18 this fall and instead focus on premium hardware: the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone, widely referred to as the iPhone Ultra. New Apple Watch models are also on the docket. The base iPhone 18 and a follow-up iPhone Air are rumored for spring 2027.
The foldable is the main actThe long-awaited foldable is expected to use a book-style design: a compact phone when closed and a larger tablet-like screen when opened. Reports describe an outer display around 5.5 inches and an inner display of about 7.8 inches. Pricing is expected to start above $2,000.
Rumored details include Apple’s A20 Pro chip, an in-house modem, Touch ID instead of Face ID on at least some reports, and a hinge designed to reduce the crease that has defined earlier foldables. Camera setup is expected to be more limited than the Pro models, with some reports saying there will be no dedicated telephoto lens. If Apple pulls it off, this would be the first major iPhone form-factor change in nearly two decades.
iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max stay the volume play
The Pro and Pro Max are expected to look similar to last year’s models, with most of the work happening inside. Anticipated upgrades include the A20 Pro processor, better thermal design, improved battery life, and camera refinements. Some reports point to a smaller Dynamic Island and new color options. The Pro Max may get the larger battery and extra cooling.
Apple appears to be splitting its iPhone calendar: high-end and experimental devices in September, more affordable models later. That would keep this week’s stage focused on the products with the highest prices and the most novelty.
Watches and the rest of the lineup
Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 are widely expected. Typical September extras such as new AirPods could appear, though camera-equipped AirPods Pro rumors have been less consistent for this date. Macs and iPads are more likely later in the fall. Software release windows for iOS 27 and related updates usually get mentioned as well.
Why this event matters
Ternus takes the stage after years as Apple’s hardware chief. The company has spent much of the past decade refining existing lines. A foldable iPhone, a narrower fall phone lineup, and a new CEO on the same day add up to more than a routine refresh. Whether the foldable becomes a mainstream product or a high-priced niche will be one of the first real tests of the next chapter.

A Caviar publicou algumas páginas com alegados detalhes internos sobre os futuros iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max e o dobrável iPhone Ultra, incluindo características técnicas detalhadas e a data de apresentação, que coincidem com uma boa parte dos rumores já conhecidos.
De acordo com Mark Gurman, a Apple já planeja pelo menos três gerações para os seus iPhones dobráveis, estreando a sua resposta ao segmento com o anúncio do “iPhone Ultra”, previsto para ocorrer no mês que vem.
Um diferencial para as próximas gerações dos celulares dobráveis da Apple já colocado em pauta pelo jornalista da Bloomberg na edição mais recente da sua newsletter “Power On” é o aumento no tamanho das telas — tanto a interna quanto a externa, que deverão contar inicialmente com dimensões de 7,8 e 5,5 polegadas, respectivamente, segundo os rumores —, embora não tenha ficado claro se as mudanças ocorrerão na segunda ou na terceira versão do “Ultra”.
Imagem: fpt.
Cotado para ser lançado ainda este ano, o aparelho que marcará a estreia da Apple no mercado dos smartphones dobráveis e deverá contar com o chip “A20 Pro”, o modem “C2”, a volta do Touch ID (que deverá ser posicionado na lateral do aparelho, no botão liga/desliga) e um preço inicial cujas especulações flutuam entre US$2.000 e US$2.500.
Na avaliação de Gurman, o dobrável marcará a primeira mudança de design revolucionária dos iPhones, que passou por pequenas mudanças visuais ao longo dos anos, mas manteve essencialmente o mesmo formato desde 2007.
Segundo o que foi reportado por fontes de cadeia de suprimentos, a Foxconn já teria dado o pontapé inicial na produção em massa do “iPhone 18 Pro” e do “iPhone 18 Pro Max”, os próximos smartphones topos-de-linha da Apple.
A informação partiu do portal de notícias chinês MyDrivers, o qual afirmou que a principal fabricante contratada da Apple iniciaria em breve seu período de pico de contratações para dar conta desse estágio de aumento da produção em massa, já iniciado no mês de julho.
Pela primeira vez, a Apple deverá segregar o lançamento dos novos iPhones, separando os modelos tradicionais dos da linha Pro: tanto o “18 Pro” quanto o “18 Pro Max” deverão ser anunciados em setembro ao lado do “iPhone Ultra” — a estreia da Apple no segmento de celulares com telas dobráveis —, enquanto lançamentos como a segunda geração do iPhone Air, o “iPhone 18” e o “iPhone 18e” deverão ficar para o começo do ano que vem.
iPhone 17 Pro Max
Cores: prateado, laranja-cósmico ou azul-intenso Armazenamento: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB ou 2TB

Em mais um dos seus tradicionais vídeos comentados com renders, o YouTuberJon Prosser tratou do “iPhone 18 Pro”, previsto para chegar ao mercado no mês de setembro.
O foco da vez é a câmera com abertura variável, um dos aguardados principais diferenciais do “18 Pro” em relação ao seu antecessor.
Relembrando os feitos do Modo Retrato (Portrait Mode), Prosser explica que a abertura variável — que foi inclusiva “confirmada” pelo megavazamento da fornecedora indiana Tata Electronics — poderá contribuir com capturas de fotos mais naturais com mais ou menos profundidade de campo. Quanto menor ela for, mais borrado fica o plano de fundo (efeito chamado na fotografia de bokeh). Ele considera esse uma das maiores melhorias dos iPhones, embora pouco perceptível à primeira vista.
O restante do vídeo menciona a escolha de design pela continuidade do alumínio, as cores — fazendo coro às especulações de azul claro, cereja escuro, cinza escuro e prata —, a Ilha Dinâmica (Dynamic Island) reduzida — já abordada em outro vídeo do mesmo canal sobre o aparelho —, o chip “A20 Pro” (de 2nm, com a especulada ampliação de quase 15% em performance e 30% em eficiência energética se comparado ao A19 Pro), o empacotamento do tipo Wafer-level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) — acoplando CPU, GPU, Neural Engine e memória na mesma placa —, a bateria de 4.288mAh no modelo menor e 5.567mAh no “18 Pro Max”, além do modem “C2”, que poderá contar com suporte ao 5G via satélite (também abordado em outro vídeo do “18 Pro”).
O vídeo encerra provocando a indagação sobre o apelo da linha em meio à estreia da linha de dobráveis da Apple com o “iPhone Ultra”, que deverá ser anunciado também em setembro.
