Third-Gen iPhone Duo to Get Face ID, Telephoto Lens, Expects Gurman
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman predicts that the third-generation iPhone Duo will feature Face ID and a telephoto lens. The initial model launched with Touch ID and dual cameras due to physical size constraints. Apple is expected to use component miniaturization and AI to integrate these new features into the upcoming device.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Third-Gen iPhone Duo to Get Face ID, Telephoto Lens, Expects GurmanMonday September 14, 2026 2:30 am PDT by Tim HardwickApple will prioritize adding Face ID and a telephoto lens to future iPhone Duo models, argues Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The device debuted with Touch ID and dual rear cameras, likely owing to physical constraints. In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says his guess is that Apple will use a combination of component miniaturization and advances in AI to eventually fit them into the third-generation iPhone Duo, "allowing Apple to use smaller, less sophisticated depth-sensing and camera hardware while making up some of the difference computationally," he writes. The iPhone Duo officially launches on October 23.
