Apple Launches iPhone Duo, First Folding iPhone

Apple has announced the iPhone Duo, a new flagship model featuring a folding screen that marks the company’s first major redesign of its flagship handset in years. The device will launch in October and will be priced at $1,999, positioning it at the high end of Apple’s product lineup.

The Duo’s dual‑screen design allows the phone to fold into a compact form factor while providing an expanded display when opened. Apple has emphasized that the new form factor will support advanced multitasking and immersive media experiences, although specific hardware specifications beyond the price point have not yet been disclosed.

With the iPhone Duo’s release slated for October, Apple is expanding its portfolio of premium devices, offering consumers a high‑cost, high‑feature alternative to its existing iPhone lineup. The company’s move underscores its focus on innovation in display technology and user experience.
