ByPulseAugur Editorial·[28 sources]·
Apple has officially entered the foldable market with the launch of its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo. The device features a 5.4-inch external display and a 7.6-inch internal screen, supporting multitasking and the Apple Pencil. While the iPhone Duo is seen as a significant step for Apple, some analysts suggest the company should also explore smaller and larger foldable form factors, potentially drawing inspiration from competitors like Samsung and Lenovo. The device is priced at $1,999 and will be available starting October 23rd.
