iPhone Duo is official. Could it earn with Leiolai?

The phone behind the iPhone Fold rumors has a name: iPhone Duo. Apple announced its first foldable iPhone on September 9, with A20 Pro and a $1,999 U.S. starting price.

For Leiolai users, that introduces a potential new device to earn with. Leiolai is an intelligence that pays its users, and its iPhone app is already available.

Could iPhone Duo earn money with Leiolai?

Potentially. Leiolai pays users for the computation they provide through the app.

You can already get Leiolai on a supported iPhone. The app is free, with no card required.

What A20 Pro could change for Leiolai

Apple pairs A20 Pro with a vapor chamber to move heat away from the processor and reports up to 35% better sustained performance than iPhone 17 Pro.

For an app that can put your phone to work, performance over time is relevant. But that 35% is Apple's hardware claim, not a measured increase in Leiolai earnings.

Two apps side by side on an iPhone

Apple's iPhone Duo overview shows Split View multitasking on the inner display. You can keep two apps open together, including two windows of Safari. Apple's example below pairs a web page with a Siri conversation.

Three details to know before October

  • Touch ID is built into the side button.
  • The eSIM-only design means there is no physical SIM slot, in any market.
  • Apple Pencil (USB-C) support is due later this year.
