Apple's long-rumored foldable becomes reality with the $2,000 iPhone Duo
Apple's first foldable can be yours next month.
Apple concluded its hardware event today with a surprising announcement: the iPhone Duo, a long-rumored foldable device. The tech giant joins the competitive foldable phone market, following years of speculation from other manufacturers. The iPhone Duo marks Apple's most capable and expensive smartphone yet, with a starting price of $1,999, comparable to offerings from Google and Samsung.
The iPhone Duo's design is reminiscent of a fresh approach to the foldable form factor. However, recent advancements by Samsung with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 have made headlines. Like the Fold 8, the iPhone Duo boasts a wider, shorter chassis. During the event, Apple dismissed foldables with a square aspect ratio as suboptimal, as they struggle to accommodate single apps and videos without excessive black bars.
