iPhone 18 Pro and foldable iPhone Duo hands-on: best-ever charging, nano-texture inner screen

APPSO · wechat · 2026-09-16

Hands-on with Apple's new lineup. The foldable iPhone Duo features a 7.6" nano-texture inner screen that greatly reduces crease visibility and an impressively immersive under-display camera; its real edge is software — a landscape-first system, hinge-angle APIs, and near-painless app adaptation. Cameras match only the iPhone 17; the UDC selfie cam tops out at 1080P.

iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max gain a 4-stop physical variable aperture (f/1.48-4) for true optical bokeh and starbursts, ProMax battery exceeding 5000mAh, and record charging (57% in 15 min; ProMax holds 55W peaks). A20 Pro memory bandwidth jumps to 100GB/s, aiding on-device AI; 1TB models ship QLC NAND tuned to near-TLC performance. Screen-privacy/matte films can break Face ID due to the under-display IR projector.
