Early iPhone Duo Benchmark Shows Performance Similar to iPhone 18 Pro
An early Geekbench test suggests the iPhone Duo performs similarly to the iPhone 18 Pro.
The test device is an upcoming foldable iPhone running iOS 27.1.
Both models use Apple's A20 Pro chip, with a six-core CPU and a seven-core GPU.
The Duo scored 3,986 in a single-core test and 11,067 in a multi-core test, but one benchmark cannot show its typical performance.
Differences in cooling and the Duo's two screens could affect how the devices perform in everyday use.
Apple says the A20 Pro can deliver up to 20 percent faster CPU performance and up to 40 percent faster GPU performance than the A19 Pro, though this test did not measure GPU speed.
Pre-orders start October 16, with launch on October 23.
