Using an Apple Pencil With the iPhone Duo: What to Know‎

The iPhone Duo is compatible with the Apple Pencil, if you have the right one. MacRumors videographer Dan Barbera tested the ‌Apple Pencil‌ with the ‌iPhone Duo‌ to see if it's a useful tool to pick up. If you already have an ‌Apple Pencil‌ 1, ‌Apple Pencil‌ 2, or ‌Apple Pencil‌ Pro to use with an iPad, you're going to be disappointed to hear they won't work with the ‌iPhone Duo‌. The ‌iPhone Duo‌ only works with the ‌Apple Pencil‌ with USB-C, which is $79 from Apple, but you can get it from Amazon for $69. The ‌Apple Pencil‌ Pro attaches to and pairs with iPads magnetically, but the ‌iPhone Duo‌ has to be paired with the USB-C ‌Apple Pencil‌ using a USB-C cable. ‌Apple Pencil‌ support is being added in iOS 27.2, which is available in beta right now. Once paired, the ‌Apple Pencil‌ works with the ‌iPhone Duo‌ like it works with an ‌iPad‌. You can write or draw, and there is a setting to turn on palm rejection. You can use the ‌Apple Pencil‌ on both the inner and outer displays. The ‌Apple Pencil‌ can attach magnetically to the Duo's hinge for storage, but it doesn't charge that way. Compared with the ‌Apple Pencil‌ Pro, the USB-C ‌Apple Pencil‌ doesn't have pressure sensitivity, double-tap, or squeeze. The ‌Apple Pencil‌ tip can leave lines on the Duo's display, but the lines wipe away with a polishing cloth. Permanent damage is unlikely, but Apple does have an ‌iPhone Duo‌ cover layer replacement option that's $19 if you have AppleCare+ and $49 if you don't. If you want to take notes or make quick sketches with the ‌iPhone Duo‌, the ‌Apple Pencil‌ with USB-C could be worth the cost, but it's not quite as useful as it is on an ‌iPad‌ due to the limited screen size.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoTag: Apple PencilBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forums: iPhone, iPad AccessoriesThis article, "Using an Apple Pencil With the iPhone Duo: What to Know" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Store Pickup for iPhone Duo Starting to Resume But Very Limited‎

The option to reserve an iPhone Duo for Apple Store pickup is starting to return on Apple's online store, with the system live again in countries such as Australia, China, Japan, and South Korea. Unfortunately, our spot check revealed extremely limited availability right now, with few to no time slots available for all configurations. We only managed to find a single iPhone Duo unit available for Apple Store pickup in Australia on Saturday at the time we checked, as shown in the screenshot below, but it already disappeared by time we published this story. In other countries, such as the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Singapore, Apple's online store continues to advise customers to check back on Saturday, October 24 in regards to Apple Store pickup, so we expect the reservation system to resume in additional countries as the clock rolls over to Saturday time zone by time zone. Just hours after iPhone Duo pre-orders began last Friday, Apple said demand for the device was "nothing short of extraordinary," with delivery estimates pushing into late January, so it is not surprising that Apple Store pickup slots are hard to come by right now. Apple said it was working to satisfy demand "as quickly as possible." Apple Store pickup was briefly offered for a few minutes after iPhone Duo pre-orders began last Friday, but the option quickly disappeared. Given the scarcity, long queues formed at many Apple Stores around the world today, with some lucky customers managing to secure an iPhone Duo on a walk-in basis. If you were not so lucky, the Apple Store pickup tool may be your next best option, so keep an eye on the iPhone Duo order page over the next day or so and refresh often.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoTag: Apple StoreBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "Apple Store Pickup for iPhone Duo Starting to Resume But Very Limited" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone Duo Jailbroken on Launch Day‎

Just hours after being released, an iPhone Duo running iOS 27.1 has been jailbroken by hacker team Calif. Calif demonstrated the ‌iPhone Duo‌'s icons and widgets bouncing around, and added an anime character to the device's screen. Last week, the group shared videos featuring an untethered jailbreak on an iPhone 18 Pro running iOS 27.0.1. The device was shown rebooting, with root access available after the reboot. CC @pwnlambda https://t.co/xpwddwn7tw— Calif (@calif_io) October 23, 2026 Calif has not publicly released the jailbreak. Calif security researcher Stefan Esser told German site Heise that there won't be a jailbreak tool available for "end users," but a proof of concept may be forthcoming. Esser said the iOS 27.0.1 jailbreak used bugs Calif has already disclosed or plans to disclose to Apple soon, and "most" of the vulnerabilities are fixed in the upcoming iOS 27.2 update. AI was used to help develop the jailbreak, but Esser didn't explain how.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "iPhone Duo Jailbroken on Launch Day" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Crackgate? iPhone Duo Owners Report Screens Breaking Along the Hinge‎

Some iPhone Duos are already experiencing hinge issues that cause display cracks, based on photos shared on Reddit and the MacRumors forums. Almost all of the display faults are right along the hinge, and most result in a line of bright pixels across one side of the screen. An iPhone Duo owner in Australia said his device cracked after being opened fewer than 20 times, and there was no visible damage beforehand. Had my iPhone Duo for about six hours and had probably opened it fewer than 20 times. I was showing it to a friend, and as I opened it, I felt something around the internal hinge, underneath the screen. As I continued opening it, I heard an audible crack, and the screen broke right along the hinge. There were no marks or damage on the inner screen's surface or the external hinge to suggest anything had been caught or damaged. The user visited an Apple Store, and Apple replaced the broken device right away. Apple is likely collecting defective iPhone Duos to research points of failure, and that research could lead to manufacturing improvements to reduce future issues. There are several images of broken displays from demo devices in China, where the ‌iPhone Duo‌ launched hours ahead of the U.S. The backstory for most of the images is unknown, and it's possible user damage is a factor. Some reviewers who got an ‌iPhone Duo‌ early subjected it to folding tests and didn't experience screen issues, but that's a small sample. With so many people getting iPhone Duos today, some failures are expected. It isn't known how widespread the issue is or whether we'll see an uptick in complaints over time. Hinge failures from normal use should be covered under the one-year warranty, and customers receiving an ‌iPhone Duo‌ today will also have two weeks to make a return.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "Crackgate? iPhone Duo Owners Report Screens Breaking Along the Hinge" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
