Apple's iPhone Duo Draws Mixed First Reactions

Apple has entered the foldable market with the iPhone Duo, featuring a 7.6-inch internal display and a starting price of $1,999. The device opens like a book, revealing a larger screen when unfolded. Early reviews praise the Duo's smooth hinge mechanism and discreet crease, aided by a nano-texture coating. However, concerns remain about the high price and long-term screen durability. The device includes a 48-megapixel camera, Touch ID, and the A20 Pro processor. Apple also unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, starting at $1,199 and $1,299, featuring improved 48-megapixel cameras with variable aperture. The Verge expressed caution over cost, while the Wall Street Journal noted the Duo feels like an iPhone-iPad mini hybrid but is heavier than competitors.
