Apple announces new foldable phone, the iPhone Duo
Apple has unveiled its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, which folds down to the size of a passport and opens to resemble a small iPad. This marks a significant form factor change for the device, coinciding with the debut of new CEO John Ternus.
The iPhone Duo represents Apple's entry into the foldable phone market, a segment where competitors have already established a presence, and could influence future smartphone design and user interaction with mobile devices. Its success or failure could impact Apple's market share and stock performance.
The event also included incremental updates to the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, the introduction of the A20 Pro chip, and new AI features for the Apple Watch, including "Audio Intelligence" and "Siri Recap."
