Apple launches foldable iPhone Duo at €2,299, targeting niche with refined design

Apple has launched its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, priced at a premium starting at €2,299, marking a strategic entry into a market dominated by competitors like Samsung, Huawei, and Google. The device, designed to address past flaws in foldable phones, features a compact form factor—comparable to the size of a passport—with an inner display measuring 7.6 inches diagonally when unfolded, while the outer display measures 5.4 inches. This configuration aims to maximize screen real estate while minimizing the visible fold line, a common criticism of earlier foldable designs. Camera placement is also optimized, with the lens concealed beneath the inner display to enhance aesthetics and usability.
