Apple iPhone Duo launch sparks playful Samsung and Duolingo feud

Apple's launch of its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, has sparked a viral social media spat, with Samsung jokingly accusing Apple of copying its foldable technology and naming conventions, drawing millions of views on X. Samsung Mobile US posted "I'm so sorry, @duolingo. They copied us too #Solidarity," referencing the iPhone Duo's name and design, which mirrors its Galaxy Z-series. Duolingo then joined in, humorously calling Samsung an "ugly stranger" and "twin," leading to a playful back-and-forth between the two brands. Samsung and Apple have a long-running rivalry, with Samsung regularly criticizing Apple for adopting features already available on Galaxy phones. Samsung later posted more jabs, including "Let us know when you're done reheating our leftovers" and "Making us wait? Fine. We'll be over here, folding 3 ways."
