iPhone Fold, iPhone Ultra or iPhone Duo: what is it actually called?
This is what trips up most searches, so here is the short answer: it is the iPhone Duo. Everyone spent a year calling it the iPhone Fold, and Apple reportedly used Ultra internally, but neither is the retail name.
The name is the iPhone Duo, the foldable Apple unveiled on 9 September, named for its two screens after years of leaks calling it iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra. If you searched for iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra and landed here, you are in the right place, and we keep those words on the page so the guide stays findable.
- iPhone Duo: the official name Apple announced on 9 September
- iPhone Fold: the name everyone used before launch, still heavily searched
- iPhone Ultra: what Apple reportedly used internally before launch
iPhone Duo colours: Star White and Night Sky
Confirmed Names as announced by Apple. The chips approximate each finish and are not product photography.
Two finishes, both in grade 5 titanium: Star White and Night Sky. That is a narrower choice than the four on the iPhone 18 Pro, which is normal for a first-generation product.
The chips above approximate each finish. GALADO’s Duo cases are clear, so either colour shows through.

Glaze Clear, Clear Guard and Galaxy Guard, made for the Duo’s two halves. Free shipping from Penang, warranty included.

iPhone Duo release date in Malaysia
It is out: Pre-orders opened at 8pm Malaysian time on Friday 16 October and it went on sale on Friday 23 October. That was about five weeks after the iPhone 18 Pro line, which went on sale on 18 September.
If you have just picked one up, give it a case from day one: a foldable has two screens, a hinge and more exposed edges than a regular iPhone.
How much does the iPhone Duo cost in Malaysia?
As announced by Apple.
| iPhone Duo | RM9,499 / RM10,499 / RM12,499 / RM15,499 | 256GB / 512GB / 1TB / 2TB |
| iPhone 18 Pro Max | RM5,999 (256GB) | the top of the regular line, for comparison |
Apple Malaysia lists the iPhone Duo at RM9,499 for 256GB, RM10,499 for 512GB, RM12,499 for 1TB and RM15,499 for 2TB, which puts the entry Duo about RM3,500 above the iPhone 18 Pro Max
That makes the Duo comfortably the most expensive iPhone of the year in Malaysia. The entry Duo costs about what a 1TB iPhone 18 Pro Max does.
If that is more than you want to spend, the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at RM5,999 and has been on sale since 18 September.
What the iPhone Duo is like: screens, titanium and Touch ID
In Apple’s own description it is a book-style foldable in grade 5 titanium with a 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR inner display protected by a replaceable nano-texture cover layer and a 5.4-inch outer display, Touch ID built into the side button, IP68 dust and water resistance, spatial audio and Split View multitasking, with Apple Pencil support arriving later this year.
In plain terms it opens like a small book. There is a large screen inside when it is open and a smaller usable one on the cover when it is shut, so it works one-handed without unfolding.
- A 7.6-inch inner display, and a 5.4-inch cover display for quick use
- Grade 5 titanium, the same family of material Apple uses on its toughest cases
- Touch ID in the side button, not Face ID, with multi-finger enrolment
- IP68 dust and water resistance, unusual for a folding phone
- Split View multitasking, and Apple Pencil support arriving later this year
What a foldable means for cases
A folding phone cannot use a normal iPhone case. A standard case is one rigid shell; the Duo is two panels joined by a moving hinge, so a regular case physically cannot fit.
A good foldable case protects each half separately, leaves the hinge free to close flat, and adds as little thickness as possible, because every millimetre is doubled when the phone shuts.
GALADO’s iPhone Duo cases are in stock now: Glaze Clear, Clear Guard with a MagSafe ring and Galaxy Guard, each made for the Duo’s two halves.
What to do next
If the Duo is your new phone, GALADO’s iPhone Duo cases are in stock and every GALADO order ships free from Penang with a 6-month warranty and easy returns. Not sure which one? Our best iPhone Duo cases guide compares them, and the foldable case guide explains what a Duo case needs: room for the hinge, an easy-to-press Touch ID button and MagSafe.
If you are more likely to buy an iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max, both are on sale and our cases for them are in stock. Our iPhone 18 Malaysia guide has the prices and colours in one place. Last updated 24 October 2026.
