  "summary": "Apple has unveiled its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, with a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.4-inch outer screen. According to The Verge, the device is Apple's thinnest iPhone yet and will support Apple Pencil later this year. The iPhone Duo has a passport-shaped design that lays flat when opened.\n\nThe iPhone Duo will be available in October, as reported by 9to5Mac, with a starting price of $1,999. In contrast, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be available for pre-order on September 12 and will ship on September 18.\n\nNew iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models also feature an upgraded camera system, including a main camera with a variable aperture and four different settings, as noted by Amateur Photographer. Additionally, Apple introduced new features such as pro/manual controls for stills and video, updated photographic styles, and \"Apple Reference Image\" to prove a photo was taken with an iPhone 18 Pro.",
