Apple event
The iPhone Duo is arguably the event’s biggest attraction, signalling Appleās belief that foldable smartphones have matured enough to command a meaningful share of the premium smartphone market. The move also brings Apple into direct competition with established foldable-phone makers.
With the iPhone Duo, Apple is finally entering a smartphone category rivals have been developing for years. Whether the companyās premium pricing can turn the foldable iPhone into a mainstream success will now be closely watched.
iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be available in 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB storage capacities.
Apple also launched the AirPods 5 with active noise cancellation, the new Apple Watch Series 12, and the Ultra 4 models.
