  "account": "Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has revealed new details about Apple’s upcoming device, the iPhone Duo, 12 hours before the company’s event begins. The device will start at a price of $2,000, with higher-capacity versions reaching around $3,000. The entry-level version will have 256 gigabytes of storage, and the phone will come in two colors: white and dark blue. A magnetic hinge system and support for the Apple Pencil stylus have been confirmed for the device. The phone is set to launch as early as October and will be available for purchase in the United States. The name \"iPhone Duo\" makes sense, given the device's dual-screen feature, and the name also keeps \"iPhone Ultra\" in reserve for future use. The product does make sense for Apple Pencil support, considering the larger canvas of an interior screen. While the starting price may seem high, it is actually quite aggressive compared to the current skyrocketing prices of tech gadgets. However, the higher configurations will likely escalate rapidly in price, as is Apple's tradition. The phone is not expected to ship as quickly as the new iPhone Pro models, which is not surprising given the timeline for previous models. Dark blue is a more interesting color choice compared to Space Gray.",
