  "summary": "Apple has launched its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo. According to Android Police, the launch comes after years of rumors and leaks, and Apple is selling it as the best foldable ever.\n\nIndia's consumer regulator is investigating Apple's software warranty terms following complaints about the iOS 18 update allegedly damaging iPhone functionality and forcing users to pay for repairs. This is reported by multiple outlets, including CNA - Business, Channel News Asia, and Yahoo Finance. Apple is contesting the accusations, saying its software warranty terms are in line with global industry standards.\n\nIf found guilty, Apple may face fines, refunds, or changes to its business practices. The investigation is part of a larger issue, with smartphone companies often facing complaints after software updates. In 2018, Italy sanctioned Apple for not advising consumers about the impact of the iOS 10 update on older iPhones.",
