iPhone Duo?

[MacRumors]

While the long-awaited foldable iPhone has often been referred to as the iPhone Ultra or the iPhone Fold in rumors, another name making the rounds is iPhone Duo.

There is no actual evidence that Apple will use the iPhone Duo name, but it is certainly a possibility. Apple has used Duo branding in the past, for its PowerBook Duo line of laptops in the 1990s and for its MagSafe Duo Charger in the early 2020s.

In this case, Duo would refer to the foldable iPhone's dual screens.

Microsoft released a dual-screen Android smartphone called the Surface Duo in 2020 that has since been discontinued, and Intel had its popular lines of Core Duo and Core 2 Duo processors in the 2000s, so perhaps Apple will want to avoid using Duo branding due to that history. However, competing companies have devices with Ultra and Fold branding too, such as Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold8.

In April, former Macworld reporter Filipe Espósito cited a source familiar with Apple's plans who said the foldable iPhone will be named iPhone Ultra. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said many Apple employees refer to the device as the iPhone Ultra within the company, but he has never firmly reported that it will be the official name.

Apple has used Ultra branding for the Apple Watch Ultra, CarPlay Ultra, and its M1 Ultra, M2 Ultra, M3 Ultra, and M5 Ultra chips.

Apple is expected to unveil its foldable iPhone during its event next week, so we will soon find out whether the device is named iPhone Ultra, iPhone Fold, iPhone Duo, or something else. Share your own guesses in the comments section.

Why not just call it the bIphone

The 'iPhone Duo' is absolutely not going to happen. Apple would never copy a name from a Microsoft garbage dump—two-separate inner-screen foldable device that failed miserably. 🤣

iPhone Folio makes the most sense IMO

I’ll take things that no one cares about for $500 Alex. 😜. This years release is the most meh that I can remember, since 2025. Let’s see what the 20th anniversary phone is like……let’s hope it’s amazing.

I’m flogging the dead horse of iBook

I think they should just call it iPhone 2 then.

They’ve never used that one and also it would be very typical for them to draw themselves in a corner for the next year. 😁

iPhoneBook? I think I like that!

What a boring name.

It copies products from both Intel (Core Duo) and Microsoft (Surface Duo). What happens when Apple goes tri-fold like Huawei?

I don't see it happening.

 

[vertsix]

My bet is that this is what it'll be called. Makes more sense for the form factor instead of "Ultra".

Folks, we're happy to announce that we can OFFICIALLY CONFIRM that Apple has named this phone!

iBook revival in name only

iPhone Math X 2

Apple Rumored to Debut 4.8-Inch 'iPhone Math' in June

According to new information from the China Times translated by BrightWire, Apple is planning to release the iPhone 5S alongside a larger phone, deemed the "iPhone Math" by the report. Because the iPhone Math name is highly unusual and does not fit in with Apple's traditional naming scheme, it...

Anything but Ultra please, an "Ultra" device is the best in its class in every (cameras, battery, durability, capability etc)... this phone is not an ultra class device
Duo is cool, I don't mind that

PowerBook Duo throwback would be elite.

Nobody ever heard of the Microsoft Duo thing let's be serious here for once.

iPhone IIGS?
