  "account": "Apple introduced its inaugural foldable smartphone, known as the iPhone Duo, during a comprehensive event on Wednesday, asserting that the innovative device category could spur growth for the company's most popular product line. The new gadget aims to surpass rival foldable models, which CEO John Ternus recently criticized for appearing \"two phones awkwardly stuck together.\" The Duo boasts a 7.6-inch (19.3-centimeter) display, the largest screen ever on an iPhone, as well as a secondary 5.4-inch screen when the device is folded in half. Moreover, starting later this year, the foldable phone will be compatible with the Apple Pencil stylus, a feature typically associated with iPads.",
  "summary": "The device will improve on rivals' foldable models, the company's newly appointed CEO John Ternus said.",
