  "account": "Apple's first foldable device, initially known as the iPhone Ultra, is reportedly being renamed to the iPhone Duo. This surprising change in name comes as the tech giant prepares to unveil the iPhone 18 line during its highly anticipated \"Surprise and Shine\" event. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the foldable device will cost less than anticipated, with a launch price of $2,000, which is several hundred dollars less than previously expected. The new name better reflects the fact that the iPhone Duo represents a new product line for Apple, rather than a premium iteration of the upcoming iPhone 18. The official launch details will be revealed during the Apple event later today at Apple Park.",
