Our very own videographer is inside Apple Park right now, and just had some time with the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
It can be hard to visualize the size of the iPhone Duo closed. Apple's keynote was great about feature demonstration, but less so about real-world size and hand-feel. Saying that it is the general size of a passport isn't quite enough on its own.
I thought about that, and since the iPhone 18 Pro family is exactly the same size as the iPhone 17 Pro, this is an easy compare. So, I told Andrew O'Hara to take this shot for you.

For me, at least, this is the best side-by-side yet. These are the actual devices, that actually work, and not sourced from a case manufacturer.
And, the Duo was running actual apps. Yes, it's in the wild, even if supervised by Apple.
But, it's nice to have some shots of the devices not impaled on crowd-control sticks in a press scrum to take a peek at.
Actual iPhone Duo, actual hand
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max go up for pre-order on September 12. The iPhone Duo goes up for pre-order on October 16.
So, there's time to make the decision. Opinions are polarized inside our news Slack, and we'll be talking about them more tomorrow.
