Apple's foldable iPhone Duo can use its inner screen as a ring light on video calls, a setting first seen on Macs last year.
The iPhone Duo's inner screen can work like a ring light on video calls. The feature is called Edge Light. It is an optional setting, so you choose whether to use it. MacRumors reported it on October 21, 2026, after Miles Franklin noticed it.
On video calls in apps like FaceTime, Edge Light lights up the borders of the screen. That puts an even glow on your face when the room is dim. A ring light is a circle of light that sits around a camera, and video creators often use one. Edge Light is essentially a virtual version of that.
The idea is not new to Apple. Edge Light first appeared last year on Macs that use Apple's own chips.
The iPhone Duo is Apple's first foldable iPhone. It opens like a book. It has a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display, with a minimal crease down the middle. The Edge Light support is on the inner display.
For anyone who takes calls in dim rooms, it may mean one less gadget to buy.
If you often take video calls in dim rooms, Edge Light on the iPhone Duo may stand in for a separate ring light, and you can turn it off.
