Apple unveiled its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, on Wednesday, priced at $1,999, the most expensive iPhone to date, with availability starting October 23. The book-style device features a bendable display that opens to two screens, touted as the largest iPhone screen ever, and is 50 percent larger than the new iPhone 18 Pro Max. New CEO John Ternus highlighted its natural, iPad-like design, distinguishing it from competitors' foldables. The price hike reflects rising memory chip costs driven by AI demand, which Apple previously warned was unavoidable, having already raised product prices by $150 to $300 in June.
