  "account": "Apple unveiled its first foldable mobile phone, the iPhone Duo, during CEO John Ternus' debut keynote. The new device will be available starting at 2,339 euros. The iPhone 18 Pro also saw a price increase. Tim Cook, in his welcoming remarks, emphasized that Ternus was taking the spotlight as the new CEO. The keynote highlighted Apple's focus on AI and the iPhone as a core part of their strategy. The iPhone Duo was the star of the show, marking Apple's entry into the foldable phone market. This marks a new era for Apple, with the iPhone Duo as their flagship device, challenging competitors who have dominated the foldable phone segment for years. Ternus explained that the iPhone Duo features a unique design that maintains the essence of the iPhone while offering a new experience. When opened, it boasts a 7.6-inch screen, which is 80% larger than the iPhone 18 Pro's 7.2-inch display. When closed, it offers a 5.4-inch panel, retaining 90% of the viewing area of the iPhone 18 Pro in a compact, pocket-friendly form. The phone can also be used like an iPad when opened, thanks to the Apple Pencil support. Apple claims the iPhone Duo is extremely durable, thanks to its hinge system and protective screen coatings. However, the most intriguing feature is how it improves productivity. Users can open multiple tabs and apps simultaneously, working with two different applications at once. For example, they can view a video and take notes at the same time, or have a chat with friends while discussing it. The phone also adjusts its orientation based on its position, whether it's open, closed, placed on a table like a book, or vertical, and adjusts the content and sound accordingly. Regarding the folds, Apple claims to have overcome the common issue of visible creases by using a flexible system of thin layers, an OLED panel on top, and a titanium plate underneath for added durability. The result is a completely smooth screen. The phone is powered by the A20 Pro chip, designed to enhance the dual-screen experience, and Apple claims it offers better performance than the iPhone 17 Pro. Battery life is also impressive, with up to 24 hours of use per full charge, similar to the iPhone 18 Pro, as it uses two batteries. However, the phone is slightly thinner than the Air. On the downside, facial recognition is not supported, and instead, the phone will use Touch ID for unlocking. Camera capabilities have been reduced to a dual 48-megapixel system, but with Apple's new UltraFusion technology. The iPhone Duo will be priced starting at 2,339 euros for the 256GB model, with a 2TB version priced at 3,839 euros, making it the most expensive iPhone ever. The iPhone Duo will go on sale in Spain starting October 23rd, with pre-orders beginning on October 16th. Apple has decided to focus on the high-end models, with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max taking the spotlight for now. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models have also seen a price increase, though they have not changed in design. They feature the A20 Pro chip, a 2-nanometer processor also used in the latest Macs, designed to handle AI tasks locally and improve battery life. The new iPhone 18 Pro starts at 1,469 euros for the 256GB model, 150 euros more than the base price of the 17 Pro. The Pro Max model starts at 1,619 euros for the base model, up from 1,469 euros last year. Both models will be available starting September 18th. Apple has also upgraded its original AirPods with noise cancellation and added features previously reserved for the Pro models, such as automatic volume reduction when someone is speaking. The AirPods now also support live translation and direct connection to Siri AI for natural conversations.",
