Duo Vinyl

A turntable you can carry. Drop the record, lower the needle, and listen. On foldable iPhones, closing the lid pauses the music — reopen to pick up where you left off.

Duo Vinyl is a record player that lives in your pocket. No playlists, no shuffle, no play button — just the slow, satisfying ritual of putting on a record: choose an album, slide the vinyl out of its sleeve, seat it on the platter and lower the tonearm. Where the needle lands is where the music starts.

MADE FOR THE FOLD

On the foldable iPhone, the device itself becomes the turntable. The upper half is the inside of a walnut lid, showing your album in full view; the lower half is the deck, with a spinning platter, a movable tonearm and real controls. Close the lid and the needle lifts, the platter slows to a stop and the music pauses. Open it again and the motor spins up, the arm drops, and the record continues exactly where you left off.

Duo Vinyl is also at home on every iPhone and iPad: the same object, held in one hand — a portable record player with nothing else competing for your attention.

HOW IT PLAYS

• Open My Records and choose an album
• Drag the record onto the platter; it snaps to the spindle with a click
• Grab the tonearm and lower it anywhere on the record. Every groove band is a track, so you can drop the needle straight into the song you want
• Lift the arm to pause, return it to its rest to stop
• At the end of Side A the arm lifts itself: flip the record with a two-finger swipe and lower the needle again for Side B

YOUR MUSIC, ON WAX

Connect Apple Music and the albums in your library appear as records with their original artwork, ready to play. If you'd rather start immediately, five demo albums ship with the app — no account, no setup.

REAL MACHINE DETAILS

• 33⅓ and 45 RPM speed selector
• Power knob with motor spin-up and a gentle coast-down when you switch it off
• Analog mode, for a soft layer of vinyl crackle under the music
• Mechanical clicks, sleeve swish and stylus landing, with haptics to match
• Everything is saved between sessions: come back to the same record, same side, same place in the song

No feed, no likes, no autoplay. Just an album, a needle and something good to listen to.

Notes: Apple Music playback requires authorization, and full playback of catalog music requires an Apple Music subscription where applicable. The demo albums are included with the app at no cost.
