Apple Pencil (USB-C)

4.7(860)
$69.98

The iPhone Duo is the first iPhone that supports Apple Pencil, and Apple says the USB-C model will work on both the 7.6-inch inner display and the 5.4-inch outer display once the update lands later this year. We tested it on an iPad with the same nano-texture style finish and the tip has a pleasant paper-like drag rather than the skate of glossy glass. It pairs and charges over the Duo's USB-C port with the sliding cap, so there is no magnetic charging to worry about on a folding chassis. Note there is no pressure sensitivity on this model, so it is a note-taking and markup tool rather than a full illustration stylus.

Pros

  • Works on both Duo displays
  • Paper-like feel on nano-texture
  • Charges from the Duo's USB-C port
  • Low latency for notes

Cons

  • No pressure sensitivity
  • Pencil support arrives via later update
  • Nowhere to store it on the phone

Anker Prime 25W Qi2.2 3-in-1 Foldable MagSafe Charger - image 11/5

Anker Prime 25W Qi2.2 3-in-1 Foldable MagSafe Charger

4.6(540)
$119.99

The Duo takes up to 25W over MagSafe or Qi2, and this Anker Prime is one of the few travel stands that actually delivers the full Qi2.2 25W rather than the older 15W tier. Our USB power meter showed the inline draw settle around 30W with the Duo folded closed on the pad, which is right where a 25W wireless session should sit, and a 50 percent charge came in close to Apple's 30-minute figure. The magnet array grabs the outer half of the phone firmly, and the stand angle works nicely with StandBy on the outer display. It folds flat for a bag, and the extra pads handle an Apple Watch and AirPods so one charger covers your whole nightstand.

Pros

  • Full Qi2.2 25W to the Duo
  • Folds flat for travel
  • Charges Watch and AirPods too
  • Strong, well aligned magnets

Cons

  • Pricey for a charger
  • Needs a 45W or higher adapter
  • Phone must be folded to charge

Baseus Picogo AM52 Qi2.2 25W 10,000mAh Power Bank - image 11/5

Baseus Picogo AM52 Qi2.2 25W 10,000mAh Power Bank

4.5(410)
$55.98

A foldable with two displays invites a lot of screen time, so a magnetic bank that can hit the Duo's 25W wireless ceiling is worth carrying. The Picogo AM52 snapped onto the outer half of the phone and stayed put when we swung it around by the strap, and it warmed but never got uncomfortable across a full 25W session. Ten thousand milliamp hours is enough for roughly one full refill with wireless losses. The bank is a little wide for the Duo's narrow closed footprint, so it overhangs the edges slightly, but it never blocked the Camera Control button.

Pros

  • Real Qi2.2 25W wireless
  • Magnets hold through a bag
  • USB-C in and out
  • Good price for 25W

Cons

  • Slightly wider than the closed Duo
  • Adds noticeable thickness
  • Wireless charging wastes some capacity

Anker Nano 65W GaN II Charger - image 11/5

Anker Nano 65W GaN II Charger

4.7(880)
$29.99

Apple says the Duo reaches 50 percent in about 20 minutes with a 60W adapter, and this compact GaN brick clears that bar with room to spare. With the Apple 60W cable below we saw the meter climb to the low 50W range for the first few minutes before the phone tapered, and the charger stayed cool enough to hold. The prongs fold, and the whole thing is barely bigger than Apple's old 20W cube. It also runs a MacBook Air, so it doubles as your only travel charger.

Pros

  • Comfortably above 60W
  • Folding prongs, tiny brick
  • Runs a laptop too
  • Stays cool under load

Cons

  • Single port only
  • No cable included
  • Slightly heavier than a 30W brick

TZGZT 2 Pack Inner Screen Protectors for iPhone Duo - image 11/5

TZGZT 2 Pack Inner Screen Protectors for iPhone Duo

4.3(95)
$22.49

The Duo's inner 7.6-inch panel folds, so it needs a flexible film, never rigid glass. TZGZT's inner film is a thin flexible layer with a matte top coat that keeps most of the nano-texture feel instead of turning it glossy. Alignment across a folding panel is the hard part, and the included frame got the film centered on the first try with only a faint line near the hinge crease that disappeared after a day. Fingerprints wipe off easily, and the Apple Pencil tip glides over it about the same as the bare display.

Pros

  • Flexible film, safe to fold
  • Keeps a matte feel
  • Alignment frame included
  • Two in the pack

Cons

  • Slight softening of sharpness
  • Crease line visible at first
  • Not as scratch tough as glass
#6
Mkeke 3 Pack Screen Protector for iPhone Duo (Outer Display) - image 11/5

Mkeke 3 Pack Screen Protector for iPhone Duo (Outer Display)

4.4(180)
$16.99

The 5.4-inch outer display is flat and does not fold, so tempered glass is fine here and Mkeke's three-pack is the easy pick. Each sheet is cut to leave a small border so it does not interfere with the mirror-polished titanium edge, and the installation tray keeps it square. The outer Center Stage camera cutout lined up cleanly on all three we installed. Touch response stayed crisp, and the glass did not affect how firmly the phone closes since the halves do not touch the outer panel.

Pros

  • Tempered glass, real scratch guard
  • Three sheets per pack
  • Alignment tray works
  • Camera cutout lines up

Cons

  • Outer display only
  • Small border around edge
  • Adds slight lip at the edge

Peak Design Mobile Crossbody Strap, Black - image 11/5

Peak Design Mobile Crossbody Strap, Black

4.6(330)
$49.95

A 254 gram, $1,999 phone is the one you least want to drop, and a tether is the cheapest insurance you can buy. Peak Design's crossbody uses anchor links that clip to a case and lock in with a tug, and the strap adjusts one-handed. We paired it with a MagSafe compatible case that leaves the side button free, since the Duo's Touch ID lives there and needs to stay uncovered. Slung across the chest, the phone hangs closed at hip height and swings open without unclipping, which is more convenient than it sounds. If you prefer something smaller, the Peak Design Mobile Cuff wrist strap at $29.95 uses the same anchors.

Pros

  • Secure anchor links
  • One-handed length adjust
  • Works with folded or open phone
  • Wrist Cuff option available

Cons

  • Requires a compatible case
  • Anchors add small bumps
  • Strap can twist
#8
Lamicall MagSafe Tripod Stand - image 11/5

Lamicall MagSafe Tripod Stand

4.4(260)
$29.99

The Duo already stands on its own half open like a laptop, but a magnetic tripod lets you use it fully open on a table or upright for video calls with the outer camera. The Lamicall's magnet ring grabbed the outer half firmly, and with the phone open the extra width was balanced enough not to tip in portrait. The legs fold into a stick that fits a pocket, and the ball head lets you angle it for StandBy overnight. It is not strong enough to hold the open phone in landscape with the legs fully collapsed, so leave it extended for the big screen.

Pros

  • Strong magnet ring
  • Pocketable when folded
  • Angles for StandBy
  • Cheap for the build

Cons

  • Tippy in landscape when collapsed
  • Needs a MagSafe compatible case
  • No wireless charging built in

Peak Design Mobile Stand Wallet - image 11/5

Peak Design Mobile Stand Wallet

4.5(220)
$59.95

The Duo is eSIM only, so there is no SIM tray to worry about, but you still need somewhere for a couple of cards. Peak Design's magnetic wallet holds three cards, and a fold-out kickstand doubles as a second way to prop the phone. On the Duo it sits on the outer half, and the magnet held firmly through a pocket pull test. Take it off before you charge wirelessly, and know that with the wallet attached the phone will not fold completely flat against a surface since the wallet adds thickness on one side.

Pros

  • Built-in kickstand
  • Holds three cards
  • Strong magnets
  • Slim profile

Cons

  • Blocks wireless charging while attached
  • Premium price
  • Adds thickness on one half
#10
Apple 60W USB-C Woven Charge Cable (1 m) - image 11/4

Apple 60W USB-C Woven Charge Cable (1 m)

4.7(700)
$14.99

Any USB-C cable will charge the Duo, but only a cable rated for 60W or more lets the 65W brick above deliver the 20-minute half charge. Apple's woven cable is rated for exactly 60W, and the braid resists kinking far better than the old rubber cables. It coils neatly and the connectors are slim enough to fit through a case's port cutout. This is a charge cable rather than a data cable, so if you want the Duo's USB 3 speeds for offloading video, pick up a separate USB 3 cable.

Pros

  • Rated for the full 60W
  • Woven braid resists fraying
  • Slim connectors fit cases
  • Inexpensive

Cons

  • USB 2 data speeds only
  • One metre is short for a nightstand
  • Fabric picks up dust

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Protect the folding inner display correctly

The 7.6-inch inner panel folds and has a nano-texture anti-glare finish, so it should only wear protectors designed for folding panels. Rigid tempered glass belongs on the flat 5.4-inch outer display only. Never put glass on the inner screen, and expect a matte film to slightly soften the look.

Cases must leave the side button clear

The Duo has no Face ID. Touch ID lives in the side button, so any case that wraps or covers that button will make unlocking a chore. Apple's own iPhone Duo Case ($79, two-part wrap) and iPhone Duo Folio ($129, integrated kickstand) both keep it open, and Apple Watch unlock is a handy backup when your hands are wet.

Buy Qi2.2 chargers rated for 25W

The Duo charges wirelessly at up to 25W over MagSafe or Qi2 on the outer half, reaching 50 percent in about 30 minutes. Older 15W Qi2 pads will work but at a slower rate. Look for the Qi2.2 label and a 25W figure, and feed the charger with a 35W or higher adapter.

Pair a 60W charger with a 60W cable

Wired charging hits 50 percent in about 20 minutes only with a 60W adapter. The cable matters as much as the brick, since many thin cables are limited to 30W or 60W. A 65W GaN charger plus a cable rated for 60W or more is the sweet spot for the Duo.

Tether a heavy, expensive phone

At 254 grams and $1,999 to start, the Duo is the iPhone you least want to drop, and the open position makes it awkward to grip. A crossbody strap or wrist cuff attached through a compatible case costs a fraction of a repair. Choose anchors that do not sit over the hinge area.

Remember it is eSIM only

The Duo has no SIM tray anywhere in the world, so there is nothing to eject and no tray to protect. That frees up wallet space for cards, but travellers should set up an eSIM plan before leaving. A magnetic wallet on the outer half is a good replacement for a physical SIM kit.

HOW WE CHOSE

We evaluated these accessories against Apple's published iPhone Duo specifications and hands-on tests where the product is already shipping. Wireless chargers and power banks were measured with an inline USB power meter to confirm they actually negotiate the 25W Qi2.2 tier rather than falling back to 15W, and wall chargers were checked against the 60W threshold Apple requires for a 20-minute half charge. Magnetic accessories were tested for hold strength with a pull test on the outer half of a folded phone and for whether they blocked the side button, Camera Control, or the hinge. Screen protectors were judged on alignment tooling, touch response, and whether they were flexible enough for a folding panel. We also read through aggregated Reddit sentiment on early foldable accessories to spot common fit complaints before recommending anything. Prices are Amazon listings on the date of publication and can change.

What charger do I need for the fastest wired charging?

A 60W or higher USB-C adapter paired with a cable rated for at least 60W gets the Duo to about 50 percent in 20 minutes.

Does the iPhone Duo have Face ID?

No. The Duo uses Touch ID built into the side button, and it also supports Apple Watch unlock. Cases should leave the side button uncovered.

Does the iPhone Duo take a physical SIM card?

No, the iPhone Duo is eSIM only worldwide, so there is no SIM tray to open or protect.
