Apple introduced its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, priced starting at $1,999 and reaching up to $3,200 for the 2 TB model with maximum storage. Apple's new CEO John Ternus said the new iPhone duo will "redesign the experience of using a new foldable phone." Wall Street analysts expect the device to sell strongly, with Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management saying Apple has got its device design mojo back, and Ben Bajarin of Creative Strategies predicting Apple will easily take 20-25% of the foldable market in 2026 and 35-40% in 2027, though supply chain limited. Samsung, projected by Counterpoint Research to lead the foldable market this year with a 32% share, mocked the launch, while Counterpoint expects Apple to capture a quarter of the market. The iPhone accounts for half of Apple's annual revenue at $200 billion, and the company must sway price-sensitive consumers only months after hiking Macbook and iPad prices due to scarce memory and storage components. The iPhone Duo folds like a book, comes in star white and night sky, can be preordered starting Oct. 16 and goes on sale Oct. 23, offers 31 to 44 hours of battery life and storage from 256 GB to 2TB, but observers noted it is bulkier than its sleeker predecessors and bendable screens are more fragile with shorter lifespans.
