Apple held its major fall product event, marking the debut of new hardware under CEO John Ternus. The standout announcement was the iPhone Duo, the company’s first foldable smartphone, featuring a 7.6-inch inner Retina display and a 5.4-inch outer screen designed to offer tablet-like versatility. The device utilizes a custom aluminum hinge and runs on the powerful new A20 Pro chip.
In addition to the foldable, Apple introduced the iPhone 18 Pro lineup with significant camera upgrades, featuring a 48-megapixel sensor with a variable aperture. The company also updated its wearable ecosystem with the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, introducing AI-powered audio intelligence, alongside the launch of the AirPods 5 with enhanced noise cancellation.
The iPhone Duo is slated for an October release starting at $1,999, signaling a strategic shift for the tech giant as it enters the foldable market. Industry analysts expect this flagship device to capture substantial market share despite its premium pricing.
