I love Apple’s iPhone Duo. But here’s why you shouldn’t buy one
Apple’s first foldable is a genuine ‘oh wow’ device. But at $3499, and with many apps not ready for its big screen yet, most people should hold off.
Apple’s first foldable device is described as a genuine "oh wow" device by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. However, both outlets suggest most people should hold off on purchasing it due to its $3499 price tag and the fact that many apps are not yet ready for its large screen.
In India, high-tech manufacturing supported by billions of dollars in government subsidies has drawn both supporters and critics. According to Channel News Asia, optimists note that Apple has built an alternative supply chain to hedge against China, with a quarter of all iPhones now being produced in factories near Chennai. Conversely, skeptics argue that much of this manufacturing is low-value final assembly and point to Vietnam's higher merchandise exports as evidence that the Make in India initiative may be more hype than reality.
