The iPhone Duo is Apple’s very first folding phone, complete with a premium design and a starting price of $1,999. It’s already going haywire in the preorder department, with many orders not shipping until January of 2027 when Apple might finally catch up and get more made.

We broke down the best cases you can get in a separate piece, and in this article, we’re going over the top 10 accessories we found that’ll compliment your shiny new foldable and take your experience to the next level.

Best iPhone Duo accessories you can get
dbrand PRISM 2.0
To protect the 5.4-inch cover display on the iPhone Duo, we recommend picking up dbrand’s PRISM 2.0 screen protector. It’s scratch-proof, fingerprint resistant, protects your display from cracks and scuffs, and won’t attract dust when you install it. There are two versions you can pick up: one that stretches from edge to edge, and another that’s compatible with cases. Plus, in each box, you get two protectors in case you mess up the first one.
Price: $34.95
iPhone Duo Folio
It’s almost too nice to ignore. Apple’s iPhone Duo Folio features a thin and light TechWoven design that integrates a kickstand for using the larger display hands-free. It attaches to your device via magnets and stays securely in place. It wraps around the entire phone, too, protecting the front and back glass from scratches and scuffs. It’s available in two colors to match your Duo: Navy Blue and Taupe.
Price: $129.00
Apple Pencil (USB-C)
Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, Apple’s iPhone Duo supports input from a stylus. The Apple Pencil with USB-C is fully compatible with the Duo, letting you sketch and draw on either screen. While it’s not the highest-end Apple Pencil that the company sells, it’s certainly better than not supporting stylus input at all.
Price: $79.00
MOFT Snap Fold for iPhone Duo
The world of MagSafe wallets is interesting largely thanks to how creative MOFT is. With its angular, origami-like accessories, its cases and wallets can prop up your phone, store your valuables, and look great while doing so. Its special Snap Fold for iPhone Duo is no exception. It takes the normal Snap Fold wallet and gives it a makeover to fit perfectly on the back of the Duo. You can pop it out to prop up your phone for hands-free viewing, and you can slot a few credit cards in its sleeve. It has a faux leather finish and is available in five fun colors.
Price: $49.99
Anker Nano 65W GaN II PPS USB C Charger
If you want to charge your iPhone Duo at max speed, you’ll need a power adapter that clocks in at a minimum of 60W. The Anker Nano 65W GaN II PPS USB C Charger is an ideal candidate for the job. It supports 65W charging and uses GaN technology to deliver powerful performance while keeping its cool. The design is a lot smaller than you’d think, too, so it’s easy to stow away in your bag.
Price: $29.99
Statik MagStack Slim Pro 100W Charging Cable
To really take your charging game to the next level, get the MagStack Slim Pro from Statik. This USB-C cable supports up to 100W of power delivery, which is more than enough to charge your iPhone Duo at full speed (or even your MacBook). Its flat design coils back up neatly using magnets to remain tangle-free in your bag, and there are a variety of sizes you can choose from for the perfect fit.
Price: $22.99
BMX SolidSafe Ultra 5K Magnetic Power Bank
To keep you juiced up on the go, there’s one power bank that really stands out. It’s from a company called BMX, who’s also behind the ultra-thin power banks we saw for the iPhone Air. This new one is designed for the iPhone Duo, with a shorter footprint that snaps to the back and keeps your foldable powered up with an extra 5,000mAh. There’s also a screen on the back so you can see how much charge you have left, as well as a kickstand ring for propping up your phone.
Price: $79.99
Sony WH-1000XM6
The iPhone Duo is great for on the go with its big screen that fits in your pocket, and if you’ll be traveling with one, you’ll want great headphones to pair with it. While AirPods Max are the default choice for a lot of users, we find the sound quality and ANC to be better on Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones. They’re also lighter on your head and more comfortable to wear during long flights, and you get spatial audio support with exceptional battery life.
Price: $479
Apple AirPods Pro 3
The best pair of earbuds you can pair with your iPhone Duo is the AirPods Pro 3, hands down. With exceptional sound quality and ANC, they still stand as our favorite wireless earbuds for all Apple users. You also get Siri AI integration, heart rate sensing, up to 8 hours of battery life with ANC, and support for both wired and wireless charging.
Price: $249 (often on sale for $199)
Xbox Wireless Controller
The iPhone Duo has the biggest display ever on an iPhone at 7.6 inches, which makes it perfect for playing video games on the go. To take your experience to the next level, it’s worth picking up an Xbox Wireless Controller. There are a ton of different variations to pick from (we obviously love the Pulse Red finish - very Shortcut-esque), and it pairs easily over Bluetooth so you can get to taking down your foes and completing every challenge in your favorite games.
