Apple Unveils iPhone Duo, Its First Foldable, at $1,999

  • On Wednesday, Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, at the 'Surprise and Shine' event in Cupertino. The device features a book-style design with a 7.6-inch internal display and 5.4-inch outer screen.
  • CEO John Ternus, who assumed leadership from Tim Cook on Sept. 1, 2026, led the introduction, marking Apple's entry into a market dominated by Samsung and Huawei since 2019.
  • Starting at $1,999 for 256GB, the Duo includes Apple Pencil support and an A20 Pro chip. Preorders begin Oct. 16, with store availability on Oct. 23, 2026.
  • IDC analysts estimate Apple could capture 28% of foldable shipments in its first year, challenging Samsung's dominance. Investors remain cautious about supply constraints and the device's ability to drive a replacement cycle.
  • Apple positioned the Duo and iPhone 18 Pro series as hubs for onboard AI, with Siri AI features arriving in October. The devices aim to drive near-term consumer replacement cycles.
