How the Costume Works
Each woman stands inside a white box that covers her from the neck down.
On the front of each box, a printed image of dunes and mountains with a gray border re-creates half of the phone’s screen.
When the two stand side by side, the images line up to form a single wallpaper. The recessed gap in the middle mimics the phone’s fold.
The Details That Sell the Joke
- “2TB” sign: Stands in for the phone’s storage capacity.
- Sign with a number: Appears to be the phone’s price tag.
- The back: Also copies the iPhone Duo’s design, complete with the Apple logo and the camera layout.
- Side openings: A round hole in the side of each box lets the women stick their arms through.
- Opening and closing: The pair moves apart and then comes back together, mimicking the phone opening and closing in a public square at night.

The video was posted by Kaze (@kazegogogo) at 1:58 p.m. on October 31. By November 2, it had earned 26,000 likes.
“Wait, It Went Viral??”
Kaze captioned the video in Chinese: “iPhone DUO, I can’t stop laughing! The funniest cosplay I’ve seen lately.”

Comments appeared in several languages:
- Chinese: “I didn’t get it at all for the first few seconds, but then I cracked up. Who came up with this?”

- French: One user called it a “Japanese Halloween costume,” even though the video was filmed in Taiwan.
The Phone Behind the Joke
Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo in September, and it hit stores on October 23.
- 7.6-inch inner display when unfolded

- A book-style foldable design that opens like a book
