After years of speculation, Apple has officially entered the foldable smartphone market with the new iPhone Duo, a device designed to combine the portability of an iPhone with the larger screen experience of a tablet.
The iPhone Duo features a 5.4-inch external display that opens to reveal a 7.6-inch internal screen. Apple equipped the device with its new A20 Pro chip, multitasking capabilities and support for the Apple Pencil, giving users more flexibility when working or enjoying multimedia content.
With a starting price of $1,999, the iPhone Duo becomes the most expensive iPhone in Apple’s lineup. The company is positioning the foldable as a premium device aimed at users looking for a different way to interact with their smartphone.
Why is the iPhone Duo so important for Apple?
It marks the company’s first major step into the growing foldable-phone market and could reshape competition with established players such as Samsung.
The iPhone Duo is expected to become available in October, following preorders in September.
