The Update

Apple has introduced its first foldable device, the iPhone Duo, alongside the new iPhone 18 Pro lineup. The Duo is a landscape-style foldable phone, opening like a book to reveal a larger screen. It features a titanium frame and a custom polymer screen, but notably lacks Face ID, using a TouchID sensor in the power button instead. The Duo starts at $1,999 for a 256 GB model.

Why It Matters

This marks a significant shift for Apple, entering a form factor dominated by competitors like Samsung. The Duo is designed to run iPad-like apps and support the Apple Pencil Pro. The iPhone 18 Pro features a new variable aperture camera, though the Duo may overshadow it. Apple also announced the Apple Watch Series 12, Ultra 4, and AirPods 5 with improved features.

What to Watch

New cases for the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and the Duo are already available. The iPhone 18 Pro’s variable aperture camera offers enhanced photography capabilities. The Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 received minor updates, while AirPods 5 feature better noise cancellation at a lower price point.
