Apple and Samsung reportedly plan bigger wide foldables for 2027

A tipster says an 'iPhone Duo 2 Plus' is in development to rival Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold9 Plus, a single unconfirmed post with no specs.

Key points

  • A tipster on X claims an 'iPhone Duo 2 Plus' is in development for 2027.
  • He says it would rival a Galaxy Z Fold9 Plus; the post gives no specs or price.
  • Neither Apple nor Samsung has confirmed either device.

A tipster says Apple is developing a larger follow-up to the iPhone Duo, which would go up against a bigger wide foldable from Samsung next year. The claim comes from Anthony, who posts as TheGalox_ on X, and neither company has confirmed any of it.

His post, put up on 11 November, says Samsung is not alone in building a bigger wide foldable for 2027. Apple’s side, he writes, is an ‘iPhone Duo 2 Plus’ that is said to be in the works, built as a direct rival to Samsung’s coming Galaxy Z Fold9 Plus. A picture of the current iPhone Duo is attached.

That is all the post offers. It carries no screen size, hinge or camera details, price or timing beyond 2027, and it does not say where the information came from. Both product names are the tipster’s wording, so neither may appear on a final product.

For scale, Apple’s iPhone Duo page calls the current model the first foldable iPhone. The screen inside measures 7.6 inches, the chip is an A20 Pro, and the cover display is cut to the same proportions as the inner panel. A bigger Plus version would presumably stretch that shape, by an amount nobody has put a number on.

Samsung’s side of the claim is a model name, Galaxy Z Fold9 Plus, with nothing behind it except this post. Real detail would have to come from a supply-chain report, a certification listing or the companies themselves, and none of those has surfaced so far.

The bar for any Plus model is the current one: Apple’s page also lists a 48MP Dual Fusion camera system and a dual-battery design, and a wired charge that reaches half in about 20 minutes.
