An alleged CAD drawing said to show Apple’s next-generation iPhone Duo 2 has been circulating online, but there is already good reason to treat the image with caution.
The drawing was shared on X by Apple leaker Majin Bu, who claimed to have obtained CAD material for the upcoming foldable. The image appears to show a device with a familiar book-style design and a rear camera layout that broadly resembles the current iPhone Duo.
However, the credibility of the image has now been called into question after Ryan Vogel highlighted an AI-detection result that flagged the alleged CAD image as AI-generated or edited with AI tools with high confidence.
That does not, on its own, conclusively prove that the image is fake. AI-image detectors can produce false positives, and a genuine technical drawing that has been compressed, edited, rescaled, or otherwise processed can sometimes trigger detection systems incorrectly.
Even so, the result is another reason not to treat the image as a credible iPhone Duo 2 leak without independent corroboration. There is currently no supporting documentation, supply-chain evidence, or separate reporting from a more established source confirming that the drawing reflects Apple’s actual second-generation foldable hardware.
The source also has a mixed recent record around iPhone Duo 2. The Apple Post previously covered a questionable claim that Apple had abandoned the second-generation iPhone Duo, despite other reporting continuing to point toward a successor being in development.
There is stronger evidence that Apple is actively testing future Duo hardware. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported that iPhone Duo 2 prototypes are testing under-display Face ID, with Apple also exploring other changes for a future generation.
For anyone deciding whether to buy Apple’s first foldable now or hold off, The Apple Post has already looked at whether it makes sense to wait for iPhone Duo 2. For now, this latest CAD image should be treated as an unverified concept rather than reliable evidence of the final design.
