Apple launched the Duo, a folding iPhone priced at $1,999, on Wednesday, aiming to lead the foldable market with its design and privacy features. The device marks Apple's entry into a category dominated by Samsung and Huawei. The Duo opens to a 7.6-inch screen, features a titanium body and custom hinge, and is Apple's thinnest phone when open. New CEO John Ternus led the event, positioning the device for productivity and criticizing rivals' foldables as awkward. Analysts predict Apple could secure a 40% share of the foldable niche by next year, with the real competition in China where Huawei holds nearly 80%. The Duo launches Oct 23 with an A20 Pro chip and Apple-designed C2 modem.
