Apple has officially entered the foldable smartphone market with the iPhone Duo, its first-ever foldable iPhone. It uses a passport-style design that opens into a larger display while retaining a conventional smartphone experience when closed.

Price and availability

The iPhone Duo starts at SGD 3,099 in Singapore for the 256GB model.

Here’s the full Singapore pricing:

• 256GB — SGD 3,099
• 512GB — SGD 3,399
• 1TB — SGD 3,999
• 2TB — SGD 4,899

The iPhone Duo comes in Star White and Night Sky. Apple will make it available starting October 23.

A foldable design built around two displays

The iPhone Duo has a 5.4-inch outer display when folded and a 7.6-inch main display when opened. Both displays share the same aspect ratio, allowing iOS to transition smoothly between the two orientations.

The rear chassis uses Ceramic Shield, while the front display gets Ceramic Shield 2. The phone is also IP68-rated for dust and water resistance.

Its hinge uses carbon fiber supports and magnets. Apple also designed the camera plateau with a curved edge that flows into the rear chassis.

A20 Pro powers the foldable experience

The iPhone Duo runs on the A20 Pro, the same chip found in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Apple says it delivers 35 percent better sustained performance than the iPhone 17 Pro.

It also comes with the new C2 cellular modem, which provides up to 50 percent faster uploads. The foldable can be used in different configurations, including tent mode and partially folded like a book.

A 48-megapixel camera system

The iPhone Duo gets a 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera alongside a 12-megapixel 2x telephoto camera. A 12-megapixel Center Stage camera handles selfies and video calls.

Apple also places the front camera under the display for a cleaner inner-screen experience.

Battery life that lasts beyond a day

The iPhone Duo offers up to 31 hours of video playback using its inner display and up to 44 hours when using the outer screen.

Charging is also fast. Apple says a 20-minute charge can replenish half the battery, while a five-minute charge can provide up to five hours of video playback.

Apple’s latest Pro iPhones are coming to Singapore with upgraded cameras, a new A20 Pro chip, and significantly improved battery life.

Price and availability

The iPhone 18 Pro starts at S$1,899 in Singapore, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at S$2,099.

Both models come with 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB storage options. They are available in Black, Silver, Glacier, and Burgundy.

Apple will open pre-orders in Singapore on September 12 at 8PM, with both models going on sale on September 18.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be available through the Apple Store online, Apple Store locations, and authorized retailers.

Other features and details

The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max feature a new 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera with variable aperture. The system can automatically adjust the aperture depending on the scene, giving users more control over how they capture photos.

Apple has also added new Pro controls to the Camera app. The camera system supports cinematic effects, including 4K time-lapse recording.

The two models use Apple’s new A20 Pro chip. It features a six-core CPU that delivers up to 20 percent faster performance, along with a seven-core GPU that offers a 40 percent increase in graphics performance. A new vapor chamber also helps manage heat during demanding workloads.

Both models also get a smaller Dynamic Island and improvements to Apple Intelligence. The updated Siri AI can better understand what users need and provide more personalized assistance.

Battery life also gets a major boost. The iPhone 18 Pro offers up to 36 hours of video playback, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max reaches up to 45 hours. Apple says a 15-minute charge can replenish up to half of the battery.

Sony has just launched its first fisheye zoom G Lens for full-frame Alpha E-mount cameras: the Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G. It will be available from late September for an SRP of US$ 1,599.99 / SG$ 2,049.

The 8 mm to 14 mm zoom focal range covers a broad set of fisheye perspectives in one compact lens.

At 8 mm, the lens shoots circular fisheye with a 180-degree angle of view projected as a circular image on a full-frame sensor.

Meanwhile, at 14 mm, it shoots diagonal fisheye across the full frame with a 180-degree diagonal angle of view.

Users can match the angle of view and composition to the subject and creative intent, across various scenarios like landscapes, architecture, sports, and more.

An optical design with ED (extra-low dispersion) glass and aspherical elements suppresses chromatic and other aberrations across the image area.

This enables high resolution throughout the zoom range with fast and precise autofocus and Linear Response MF. All these while suppressing focus breathing and operating quietly for movie production.

Controls include a focus mode switch, zoom lock switch, and an aperture ring with switchable click stops.

A minimum focusing distance of 0.15 meters and maximum magnification of 0.22x at the telephoto end also allow close-up fisheye perspectives both for stills and movies.

The Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G measures about 63.1 mm in maximum diameter and 82.8 mm in length.

It weights about 314 grams, giving it mobility for handheld, gimbal, and rig-based shooting. It is also dust and moisture-resistant with a fluorine coating on the front.

In addition, users can opt for a dual-lens configuration with the VENCE Extension System Mini.
