In the wee hours of September 10, Apple unveiled its inaugural foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, at its autumn new product launch event. Priced starting at 15,999 yuan, with the top-tier 2TB model reaching 26,499 yuan, this device boasts a horizontal, book-style foldable design. It features a 5.4-inch external display and a 7.6-inch internal screen when fully unfolded. Powered by a cutting-edge 2-nanometer A20 Pro chip, the iPhone Duo replaces Face ID with side fingerprint recognition and exclusively supports eSIM technology. Shortly after the announcement, Samsung took to its official social media channels to publicly deride Apple, mocking its product innovation, as well as the weight and thickness of the device. This move further intensified the rivalry between the two tech giants in the premium foldable screen market.
