Central Cee and Kid Cudi are getting the hype train rolling for Apple’s long-rumored foldable phone, the iPhone Duo.
The two rappers were on hand for Wednesday’s keynote address at Apple’s Cupertino campus, where the iPhone Duo was the star of the show.
Both artists hopped on Instagram to let followers know they were among the first to see and hold the device.
In Cee’s post featuring the Duo, he took a photo of himself using the device’s updated front camera while Cudi showed the smartphone playing his track “Mr.Rager” in the Apple Music app.
In the caption for his post, Cudi wrote, “@apple thank you guys for having me!!! First keynte was lit.”
No word on whether both musicians were able to walk out of the building with phones, but we are sure Apple will be blessing both of them with the Duo before its release.
The iPhone Duo’s Key Design Features & Specifics
The passport-style smartphone opens to become a mini-iPad, allowing multitasking across multiple apps and giving users the perfect device for intense mobile gaming sessions.
Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet features a 5.4-inch display when closed and a massive 7.6-inch display when open.
When the phone officially launches, there will be apps optimized for Apple’s foldable that will automatically adjust how they appear as users change the device’s orientation.
Apple’s new powerful A20 Pro chip is paired with a new cooling system that boosts iPhone Duo’s sustained performance by 35%.
As for the camera system, the Duo features two high-powered 48-megapixel cameras: one for wide-angle shots and the other for ultra-wide shots.
The one Central Cee uses in his post is the Center Stage camera, paired with a FaceTime camera. It will also support Apple Pencil on both screens.
The iPhone Duo is available for preorder on Oct. 16 and goes on sale Oct. 23, with the base model starting at $1,999.
It will be interesting to see how the public responds to this very niche device, and whether it takes off or flops like the Apple Vision Pro.
The streets are still talking about the new foldable smartphone; you can see those reactions below.
