  "account": "In an unusual Apple iPhone season, Apple CEO John Ternus revealed which iPhone the company hopes consumers will buy. Ternus showcased the new iPhone Duo during the 78th Primetime Emmys, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that allowed Apple to steer consumer attention toward its $1999 foldable device. The foldable phone market is tiny, with Samsung dominating the space, but this was a strategic move for Apple. Apple's late entry into the folding phone market makes it a calculated risk, but the company is willing to take the chance. With Samsung showcasing its foldable phones at the Oscars and Ellen taking a selfie with a Samsung Galaxy phone, Apple had a unique chance to make its mark. Ternus's decision to pull out the iPhone Duo from his pocket demonstrated Apple's intent to promote the new form factor and potentially boost revenue.",
