It took Apple's late entry into the foldable market to get long-time foldable users to think twice about their devices' software. This is one criticism currently being voiced repeatedly in light of various experiments with the iPhone Duo's animations and features. The other is directed at Samsung, which, as a pioneer in the field may have placed too little emphasis on the software aspect of foldables.

Apple's newly revealed A20 Pro chipset on the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro phones is a proper heavyweight. The chipset has now surfaced on Geekbench 7 aboard what appears to be an iPhone 18 Pro Max, with single-core performance eclipsing that of the M5 Max on the current-gen MacBook Pro.

DailyObjects has launched its largest iPhone case collection yet, offering four case styles for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, while cases for the foldable iPhone Duo are coming soon. The range provides varied materials, colors and accessories at competitive prices.

The iPhone Duo will go on sale starting October 30 with a starting price of $1,999. It is believed that Apple is paying about 12.5% of this price to Samsung for each iPhone Duo folding panel.

Apple’s iPhone Duo is forecast to ship 5 million units and capture nearly 25% of the global foldable smartphone market in 2026, putting it alongside Huawei and behind Samsung. Its strong debut could mask broader weakness, as rising component costs are expected to drive Android foldable shipments down by more than 20%.

Apple has confirmed that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo bring a genuine jump in wired charging speeds at long last. It, however, is making the user pay extra for the new feature.

Not only are the iPhone 18 Pro (Max) and the iPhone Duo very expensive, but Apple has also raised the prices today for the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17e, and the iPhone Air, meaning that last year’s base model now costs up to $1,099 in the Apple Store.
