Apple announces first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo
Apple has announced its long-anticipated foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo. The device arrives more than seven years after the first Samsung Galaxy Fold hit the market.
Apple has officially announced its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo. The device enters the market over seven years after Samsung first introduced its Galaxy Fold.
Rumors regarding a foldable iPhone have been circulating since at least 2017, with initial speculation pointing towards a 2020 production start. During this period, competitors including Samsung, Google, Huawei, and Oppo have launched various foldable Android devices.
The foldable phone market has remained relatively niche, representing just 1.6 percent of all smartphone sales in 2025. The iPhone Duo aims to capture a share of this segment and potentially broaden its appeal.
Specific technical details and pricing for the iPhone Duo are expected to be revealed at a later date. A confirmed release date has not yet been provided.
