jpost.com

Apple unveiled the folding iPhone Duo at $1,999 on Wednesday, aiming to challenge rivals in the foldable smartphone market. The device is Apple's most significant flagship overhaul since 2017, led by new CEO John Ternus. The Duo features a passport-sized design that opens into a 7.6-inch screen, with a titanium body and custom hinge. Analysts predict Apple will secure 40% of the foldable niche by next year, though Huawei dominates China's market with nearly 80% share. Ternus emphasized on-device AI privacy, contrasting with competitors. The company also introduced the iPhone 18 Pro line, starting at $1,199, plus updated AirPods and Apple Watches. Apple shares closed down 0.3% following the presentation.
