Apple made its long awaited entry into the foldable smartphone market on Wednesday with the launch of the iPhone Duo. The foldable phone will go on sale October 23, with a starting price of $1,999.
The Duo will be available in two colors: Star White and Night Sky.
The device is the size of a passport, and opens and closes like a book. There’s a 5.4-inch screen on the exterior cover that you use just like a standard smartphone. Open the device up, and you get a wide 7.6-inch display.
Apple is late to the foldable game. Samsung launched its first Galaxy Fold back in 2019.
“Others have created foldables that just feel like two phones stuck together,” said Apple CEO John Ternus as he unveiled the device. That’s not entirely true. The latest Samsung Z Fold 8 and Z Ultra 8 have earned rave reviews for a virtually crease-free foldable screen and the product build.
