Apple CEO John Ternus unveiled the iPhone Duo, a foldable smartphone, marking the most radical iPhone design change in nearly 20 years. The device folds like a passport and was announced Wednesday. The Duo launches Ternus's tenure, which began this month after Tim Cook's 15-year leadership. It features a 5.4-inch outer screen and 7.6-inch internal display, starting at $1,999, with availability from October 23. Folding phones have existed since 2019 from Samsung and Huawei, though early models had durability issues. Apple's entry follows its pattern of refining existing concepts, echoing Steve Jobs-era product announcements.
