‘Duo is the most pricey iPhone to date’: reactions to Apple’s foldable phone
Apple has launched its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, which features a large inner screen and high-end specifications. While praised for its design and lack of a display crease, the device's high price point has sparked debate about its market viability.
Why it matters
Apple's entry into the foldable market represents a significant shift in mobile hardware strategy and sets a new benchmark for premium consumer electronics pricing.
Apple has unveiled its first foldable iPhone in a big redesign of its smartphone with a widely expected announcement on Wednesday.
It puts the tech giant in competition with companies such as Samsung , Honor and Google , who all offer folding phones and have been refining the devices for a few years.
The iPhone Duo won’t hit the Irish market until October 23rd, but attendees at the Apple launch got a brief hands-on guide to the device.
The iPhone Duo’s main selling point is its versatility, with the device going from compact phone to almost mini-tablet size.
