What happened?

Apple CEO John Ternus and Senior VP Greg Joswiak recently detailed the development of the iPhone Duo, the company's first foldable smartphone.

Why it matters

The most significant verified detail is the use of a specialized nano-texture display—a matte finish originally seen on high-end Macs—which Apple claims eliminates the visible and tactile "crease" typical of folding screens by optimizing the technology for a flexible polymer surface.

Detailed explanation

This product launch represents Apple's high-stakes entry into a category currently led by Samsung and Google.

Executives stated that the company waited to enter the market to avoid "half-baked" software, criticizing the "uninspiring" way Android handles apps on larger folding screens.

To address this, Apple is working with developers to ensure apps like Netflix and Zoom are fully optimized for the Duo’s 7.6-inch display and a redesigned iOS 27 interface.

The iPhone Duo is scheduled to go on sale October 23 with a starting price of $1,999.

It will include the A20 Pro chip, IP68-rated durability for water and dust resistance, and support for the Apple Pencil.

Notable software features include "Smart Take," an AI-driven camera mode that automatically triggers a shutter once every person in a group shot is in position, and a control layout moved to the right edge of the screen for easier thumb access.
