Apple Shares Photos Shot on iPhone Duo

Apple on Instagram today shared a curated gallery of six photos shot on the iPhone Duo. The photos were shot by American photographers Jake Michaels and Jason Nocito, as part of a project commissioned by Apple.

iPhone Duo is equipped with four cameras:

  • A rear 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera
  • A rear 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera
  • A front 12-megapixel Center Stage camera in the outer display
  • A front camera under the inner display

iPhone Duo lacks a dedicated Telephoto camera, which is a dealbreaker for some customers. The main camera does have "optical-quality 2× Telephoto" capabilities, but this pales in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro models, which can achieve up to 8× optical zoom. Still, the photos shared by Apple prove that the iPhone Duo is still very capable for photography, at least in the hands of skilled photographers.

You can pre-order the iPhone Duo starting Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.

Apple Exec Says 'Hold Us Accountable' on iPhone Duo Crease

Friday September 18, 2026 9:51 pm PDT by
Apple hardware engineering VP Tom Marieb spoke with TechRadar and shared some candid thoughts about Apple's upcoming iPhone Duo. The iPhone Duo uses a matte nano-texture display, which is meant to cut down on glare and minimize the visibility of the crease.

All of these, with the possible exception of the fish tank one, are taken in good outdoor lighting. That tells us nothing. Every iPhone for the last 10 years takes really good photos in well lit environments. Heck, even the iPhone 4 could take a good shot under those conditions. What we need to see are shots taken in low light conditions. That’s where we will see how well the smaller sensor holds up.

Hahaha my poor friend... If sometimes you don't see some shots, it's because the camera is not made for that... it's like wildlife photography...

A good example would be waterfalls where the iPhone duo cannot do as good as the 18 pro since no pro controls for NO REASON
You heard it folks...if you are planning on taking pictures of waterfalls, DO NOT get iPhone Duo.

I look forward to Duo/iPhone 18 Pro Max photo comparisons. As is stands now, the camera system is what saw me opt for 18PM this cycle and not trying a Duo. Wait, Duo's price-point was also a deterrent.
