Apple’s Foldable iPhone Debuts | Tech News
About this episode
Apple just unveiled its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo — a sleek, dual-screen powerhouse with a 5.4-inch outer display and a massive 7.6-inch inner screen, powered by custom iOS software designed for seamless multitasking. It packs two rear cameras, Touch ID, and IP68 water resistance, plus Apple Pencil support that’s turning heads — especially among iPad mini fans and creatives who see it as a portable replacement for their tablet. Preorders begin October 16th, hitting shelves October 23rd, starting at $1,999 for the 256GB model. While the design is revolutionary — offering big-screen versatility without the bulk — the steep price tag and lack of Pro-level camera specs are keeping some skeptics at bay. Competitors like Samsung are watching closely, positioning this as a mainstream entry point rather than a tech extreme, leaving room for niche players to dominate the high-end foldable space.
