  "account": "Apple is set to unveil its first foldable iPhone, called the iPhone Duo, in a few hours. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the foldable iPhone will feature an inner and outer display, making it Apple's first with this design. The price of the iPhone Duo is reported to be $1999, which is considerably less than some analysts had predicted. Apple is reportedly absorbing some of the cost of recent memory component price increases to keep the device at a competitive price point. The foldable iPhone Duo will come in white and dark blue color options. Gurman also states that the device will be available for purchase as early as October, potentially a few weeks later than the anticipated release date of the iPhone 18 Pro. Additionally, Apple Pencil support for the iPhone Duo is now anticipated, following previous speculation but not having been officially confirmed. The event will commence at 10 am Pacific Time, which is approximately 12 hours away. Stay tuned for further updates throughout the day.",
