Apple introduces “Duo,” a new foldable iPhone designed to open from a passport-like shape into a wider screen. Multiple outlets describe the device as having rounded edges and expanding into a horizontal display, with one report specifying a 7.6-inch-wide (19 cm) screen when unfolded.
Outlets frame the launch differently. Some focus on the distinctive form factor and price, stating the handset costs $1,999 and emphasizing the design’s resemblance to a passport. Others connect the product to broader context for Apple’s smartphone lineup, describing the Duo as part of a significant change to the company’s flagship iPhone strategy.
Al Jazeera also highlights the timing and leadership, noting the Duo debut occurs alongside Apple’s new CEO, John Ternus, and calls it the most noticeable overhaul of the flagship iPhone since 2017. Japan Today similarly situates the launch within Apple’s push into foldable phones and mentions the company’s positioning around privacy, although outlets differ on emphasis rather than the core product facts.
