  "account": "Apple has sold out its entire first week's stock of the iPhone Duo, the company's first ever foldable smartphone, in India. Pre-orders for the premium device opened on October 16 and the ultra-premium phone is set to go on sale in India on October 23. The iPhone Duo will be priced between Rs 3 lakh and Rs 4.5 lakh in India. Analysts estimate that it will capture around 24% of the foldable device market when it enters the fray in India. The iPhone Duo will have a 5.4-inch display when folded and a 7.6-inch display when unfolded, making it 50% larger than the iPhone 18 Pro Max. The device will be positioned in the same price range as some of the country's top-selling Maruti Suzuki hatchback models. Apple Stores in Mumbai's BKC (Bandra Kurla Complex) and New Delhi's Saket are reporting the highest number of pre-bookings for the foldable iPhone, with both locations reporting the same level of bookings. With the iPhone Duo, Apple has entered the foldable smartphone category and analysts believe the device will expand India's foldable segment initially, driven by its excellent form factor, larger screen value proposition and great UI experience.",
  "summary": "Analysts estimate that iPhone Duo will be able to capture around 24% of market share in the foldable device segment, where it will compete with the Samsung Z Fold 8 series, available in India.",
