Briefings
Austin Mann reviewed the iPhone 18 Pro Duo in September 2026, expressing initial hesitation about its folding design but ultimately praising its camera capabilities. He noted the Pro's 4x/8x telephoto lens is superior to the Duo's, while the Duo's 1x/2x main camera offers excellent low-light performance. The review was taken at Apple's Pro and Tell event in Los Angeles, where Mann was carrying his iPhone 18 Pro. The article highlights the Duo's strengths in planning, editing, and sharing, though it explicitly states the camera is not a reason to buy it.
