Apple's new CEO unveils iPhone 18 and first foldable Duo
Apple's new CEO John Ternus unveiled the iPhone 18 lineup and the company's first foldable phone, the Duo, at its Cupertino headquarters on Wednesday. The Duo, priced from $1,999, features a 7.6-inch screen and Apple Pencil support. The Duo's display is 80% larger than the iPhone 18 Pro's, allows split-screen multitasking, and is the most expensive iPhone ever. The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max start at $1,199 and $1,299, with pre-orders from September 12 and availability September 18, while the Duo launches October 23. Ternus succeeded Tim Cook on September 1, marking a leadership transition. Analysts note the foldable market remains under 5% of global smartphone sales, and the iPhone 18 costs about $100 more than predecessors due to memory chip shortages.
