Apple Launches iPhone Duo Foldable, Aiming to Elevate Foldable MarketPreviousNext

Apple has introduced the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, aiming to establish a new ultra-premium tier above the Pro Max. The device features balanced weight distribution, a dual-screen design inspired by the iPad, and a hidden FaceTime camera. Analyst Mark Gurman predicts the Duo could drive foldables from a niche market to mainstream within a decade, paralleling the original iPhone's impact on smartphones. The product targets exclusivity and innovation rather than competing solely on traditional metrics.
