Apple's iPhone Duo, arriving October 23, marks the company's long-awaited move into foldables. At $2,000, it is positioned as a premium device that can plausibly replace both an iPhone and an iPad mini, with a passport-shaped design and a 7.6-inch matte internal display. Motorola's Razr Ultra, by contrast, costs $1,500 and targets buyers who want a maximally compact phone that folds into a candybar-style 7-inch screen.
Performance and cameras are closer than the price gap suggests. The Ultra runs on a Snapdragon 8 Elite with 16GB of RAM, while the Duo is expected to be faster thanks to Apple's A20 Pro chip and iOS optimizations. Both have two rear cameras, though Apple's 48-megapixel sensors are likely to outperform Motorola's 50-megapixel pair based on Apple's track record. The Duo's front camera is only 12 megapixels, but it adds an under-screen internal camera for FaceTime.
Battery life is comparable, with the Ultra lasting 31 hours in video testing and Apple claiming similar endurance for the Duo. Durability differs more clearly: the Duo has an IP68 rating, while the Ultra is IP48, meaning the Motorola is more vulnerable to fine dust. For most buyers, the decision will come down to platform preference, price, and whether the Duo's productivity-focused design justifies its higher cost, especially when Android alternatives like the Razr Fold, Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 are available for similar or lower prices.
