Apple has officially entered the foldable phone market with the launch of the iPhone Duo. This marks a significant expansion for Apple, as it introduces its first device with a flexible display. The device features a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display when unfolded, positioning it as a direct competitor to existing foldable devices like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series.
“Apple just wrapped up its big hardware event. The iPhone Duo launch, the long awaited foldable phone. We're going to talk about everything. This is actually a fascinating event, even beyond the fact that Apple now has a foldable phone. Um, we're going to talk about all of that.”
“High level, I think the the very obvious thing is this looks a lot like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, uh, which launched this summer.”
“So we've got a 5.4 inch outer display, when you open it up, it's a 7.6 inch display, like you said, it's sort of passport sized.”
