Apple Announces Foldable iPhone Duo

Apple has unveiled a foldable iPhone called the iPhone Duo during its September "Surprise and Shine" event. This is the company's first attempt at a foldable smartphone, setting it apart from competitors like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Google's Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The Duo maintains the same aspect ratio, 1.4:1, whether folded or unfolded, allowing for an optimal viewing experience regardless of the phone's form.

The screen utilizes wide-angle OLED technology with a peak brightness of 3000 nits. Apple's new A20 Pro chipset powers the Duo, paired with a vapor chamber cooling system to ensure efficient heat dissipation. The phone boasts a sleek design when unfolded, being the thinnest iPhone yet. Internally, the Duo houses a 48MP main camera and a 12MP secondary camera, both of which are housed under the display and become visible only when needed.

Battery life is expected to be solid, with Apple claiming all-day usage. The Duo will be available in Night Sky and Star White colorways, starting at $1,999 for 256GB of storage. Preorders begin on October 16, with the device hitting stores on October 23.
