Apple’s iPhone Duo Redefines Foldables | Tech News
About this episode
Apple just unveiled the iPhone Duo — its first foldable phone — featuring a massive 7.6-inch screen when unfolded and a compact 5.4-inch outer display, designed for ultimate versatility like an iPad. It supports Touch ID (no Face ID) and can be unlocked via Apple Watch. With a wider unfolded form factor, it’s built for immersive video viewing. iOS 27 is fully optimized, letting you run apps side-by-side, pin videos on top, or use it half-folded or flat. While Samsung and Xiaomi have been pioneers in foldables, Apple’s entry could dramatically shift the market — analysts predict the iPhone Duo might capture 25% of the foldable segment by year-end, despite the category still accounting for less than 2% of total smartphone shipments.

On September 9th, alright, so Apple just dropped their first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo. It's got this big 7.6 inch screen when you unfold it, and a smaller 5.4 inch one on the outside. They're saying it's all about versatility, kind of like their iPads, and you can even use it unfolded vertically. One interesting thing is, it's rocking touch ID, but no face ID. You can still unlock it with your Apple Watch though. They went with a wider design for the unfolded screen, which should make watching videos way better, unlike some of those early foldables that felt, like bricks. The new iOS 27 is totally adapted for this thing. You can have apps side by side, even pin a video of top while you're doing other stuff below. Plus, you can use it half folded or just set it down on the table. It's a whole new way to interact with your phone. Now, Samsung and Xiaomi have been in the foldable game for a minute, but Apple's entry could really shake things up and boost demand for this style of
phone. Even though foldables are still a small slice of the market, less than 2% of shipments, some analysts are predicting the iPhone Duo could. Grab a massive 25% market share by the end of this year. From the industry, powered by AI, this is Tech News Today.
