  "account": "Apple has entered the foldable smartphone market with the launch of its first new iPhone model, the iPhone Duo, which costs from €2,299. The device is designed to be thinner and lighter than previous foldable phones, according to Apple's new CEO John Ternus. The iPhone Duo features a large internal 7.6-inch display, with a 5.4-inch external screen accounting for 90% of the area of an iPhone 18 Pro. The phone is currently the thinnest iPhone model on the market. Apple aims to outperform its competitors by addressing previous issues in the foldable category, including making the visible fold in the middle of the unfolded display less noticeable. However, Apple has had to make some compromises, such as limiting the optical zoom to 2x and switching from Face ID to a fingerprint unlock system. The foldable smartphone market remains a niche category, with Samsung, Huawei, and Google leading the way, but Apple predicts it will take the lead within a year. IDC forecasts Apple to hold 31% of the market in terms of units sold and 44% in terms of revenue by 2027. Currently, Huawei holds this position, accounting for roughly half of all foldable smartphones sold. Apple introduced the higher-end iPhone Pro alongside the Duo, but did not announce a standard model. The iPhone 18 Pro will be available in early spring and features improved camera performance in low light conditions, a feature not seen in previous models. A reference image will be saved to ensure the accuracy of the KI-assisted features. The device will also have usage restrictions due to high computational requirements, which can be lifted through Apple's subscription models. Despite Apple raising prices across the board due to increased demand for memory, the iPhone 18 Pro remains 150 Euros more expensive than its predecessor.",
