Apple unveils first foldable iPhone Duo in Cupertino under new CEO John Ternus

Apple unveiled its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, at a launch event in Cupertino, California, on Wednesday, marking the first major product announcement under new CEO John Ternus. The device features a passport-shaped design with a 5.4-inch external display and a 7.6-inch internal foldable screen, constructed with titanium and multiple layers of flexible glass to minimize creasing .
Priced starting at $1,999 for the 256GB model, the iPhone Duo will be available in 70 countries beginning October 23, with pre-orders opening October 16 . Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook on September 1, criticized existing foldables as feeling like "two phones awkwardly stuck together" and positioned the Duo as a device blending smartphone portability with tablet-like functionality .
The Duo includes multiple cameras, including a front-facing external lens, two rear lenses, and an internal lens, all usable simultaneously when unfolded. It will be offered in two colors, "star white" and "night sky," and introduces a new monthly leasing program, Apple Upgrade . Analysts at IDC estimate foldable smartphones currently represent less than 2% of global shipments but expect Apple to capture about a third of the market with its entry .
