Apple’s first folding phone, the Duo, goes on sale in stores on Friday. Multiple outlets frame the release around what folding devices change for users—especially how owners should protect and maintain a device with both a rigid outer screen and a main folding inner display.
BNN Bloomberg and Fast Company both emphasize that folding phones require more attention than traditional smartphones due to their different screen construction. They outline general “dos and don’ts” drawn from existing guidance by other folding-phone makers, such as Samsung and Google, including caution around third-party screen protectors for the inner display. Fast Company additionally notes user reports that some preorder shipments may slip into January, which could affect buyers’ expectations.
Across coverage, the emphasis is less on the phone’s new features and more on practical ownership considerations—how screen protection works on folding models and what manufacturers advise to avoid damage or complications. The overall message is that care guidance differs between the outer and inner screens, and that users should follow official or established recommendations for these devices.
