Apple debuts its first foldable phone called Duo

CUPERTINO, California - Apple introduced a foldable phone called Duo on Wednesday, marking a significant change in the company's flagship product line. The Duo resembles a passport in size and shape, featuring rounded edges. When unfolded, it displays a wide horizontal screen that can also be viewed vertically. A smaller single screen is located on the front when the phone is folded.

Apple claims the Duo is their thinnest phone to date. This foldable phone debut, the company's first since CEO Tim Cook's removal of the physical home button from the iPhone X in 2017, represents a major overhaul of Apple's flagship product. The iPhone generated $209.6 billion, or slightly more than half of Apple's sales, in its most recent fiscal year.

John Ternus, the new CEO, addressed the audience through a video, emphasizing the iPhone as a personal AI hub that prioritizes privacy, contrasting it with other companies that collect and store personal data.
