Apple's new CEO unveils Duo foldable and iPhone 18 Pro

Apple's new CEO, John Ternus, unveiled the company's latest products, including the Duo, its first foldable smartphone, at its Cupertino headquarters. The Duo features a 7.6-inch screen, 80% larger than the iPhone 18 Pro, and starts at $1,999. The Duo supports an Apple Pencil and split-screen multitasking, marking Apple's entry into the niche foldable market, which remains under 5% of global smartphone sales. New iPhone 18 Pro models start at $1,199, with preorders from September 12 and availability September 18, while the Duo launches October 23. Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook on September 1, faces high expectations to maintain Apple's success. Analysts note the Duo's launch was strategically timed, but Apple's broader hardware, software, and services strength will sustain the company.
