Geekbench 7 results for Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone Duo have surfaced, reportedly showing its A20 Pro chip matches the power of the iPhone 18 Pro family. This suggests Apple isn't compromising on performance for its first foldable, with pre-orders reportedly starting October 16.
Apple's first foldable, the iPhone Duo, has reportedly shown impressive benchmark scores, suggesting it will pack the full power of the A20 Pro chip without compromising performance for its unique design. The latest Geekbench 7 results, published by آي-فون إسلام, indicate the foldable will match the computing prowess of the flagship iPhone 18 Pro family.
This leak, spotted in the Geekbench 7 database under the internal codename "iPhone19,4," reveals a single-core score of 3986 points and a multi-core score of 11067 points. These figures, achieved while running iOS 27.1, are consistent with the combined scores seen on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
The report from آي-فون إسلام confirms the iPhone Duo will feature the A20 Pro processor with six CPU cores, clocked at up to 4.93 GHz. This is identical to the specifications of Apple's current Pro series smartphones. Additionally, the device is tipped to come with 12 GB of RAM (listed as 11.30 GB of available system memory), which should be ample for demanding AI tasks and heavy multitasking.
The A20 Pro chip is built on a 2-nanometer manufacturing process, representing a leading-edge silicon advancement. It also includes a sophisticated 7-core graphics processor. While this specific benchmark focused on CPU performance, official Apple figures reportedly indicate the A20 Pro offers up to a 20% increase in CPU speed and a remarkable 40% jump in graphics capabilities compared to the previous A19 Pro generation.
For a foldable phone, thermal management is often a significant challenge due to thin designs and complex internal layouts. Previous concerns suggested Apple might have to lower clock speeds to manage heat. However, based on these early Geekbench results, it appears Apple hasn't resorted to such compromises, delivering flagship-level performance. The A20 Pro's energy-efficient architecture suggests Apple has a clever strategy to prevent overheating during sustained heavy use, even with two integrated displays.
If these benchmarks hold true, Indian consumers eyeing a premium foldable will likely find a device that doesn't skimp on raw power. While specific India pricing and availability are still unknown, the iPhone Duo is positioned as a top-tier offering, potentially competing with existing high-end foldables from brands like Samsung and OnePlus if it launches in the market. Those who prioritize performance in a foldable form factor might find this worth waiting for.
For those keen on getting their hands on Apple's first foldable, pre-orders for the iPhone Duo reportedly began on Friday, October 16. Shipping and general availability in stores are slated to start on the following Friday, October 23.
