Rumors about the foldable iPhone were unclear on whether it would have MagSafe charging, but it turns out the iPhone Duo does indeed have a magnetic charging array.
Tech specs for the device say it supports MagSafe wireless charging at up to 25W, the same as the iPhone 18 Pro models. It also supports Qi2 25W wireless charging when using third-party accessories.
Faster wired charging is available, with the iPhone Duo charging to 50 percent in a 20-minute period. That's a little bit slower than the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, which can charge to 50 percent in 15 minutes.
The iPhone Duo preorders start on October 16, and it will launch on October 23. Pricing starts at $1,999 for 256GB of storage.

Those were the two items I needed. Definitely moving forward with the Duo. I've needed a change after nearly 18 years of the same form factor. I can finally get rid of my iPad and move to a iPhone and Mac only combo.
Man, seems like they have done the foldable correctly with how opening of the phone brings continuity to what was on the outer screen. 100% in on this.
Apple's first foldable iPhone, with a book-style design featuring a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display with a minimal crease down the middle.
