Apple released the iPhone Duo on Friday, Oct. 23, and the tech giant released iOS 27.1 alongside the device. However, only the foldable iPhone will run that iOS version.
“This version of iOS builds on the foundation of iOS 27 but introduces features that were purpose-built for the new foldable design,” Apple told CNET in an email in September.
So unless you preordered the iPhone Duo, or were able to buy one in stores, you won’t see iOS 27.1 on your device.
The Duo is Apple’s first foldable phone, a long-anticipated move into a device category that’s still pretty niche. Launching it alongside a version of iOS tailored to that foldable design could help smooth out the debut of what is likely to be many buyers’ first foldable phone.
However, Apple did say all devices, including the iPhone Duo, will be able to update to iOS 27.2 later this year. So Apple likely won’t stagger iOS releases in the future in this way. And since Apple released the iOS 27.2 release candidate on Monday, Oct. 19, folks likely won’t have to wait long for that update to land on their foldable and nonfoldable iPhones.
