Apple's First Foldable iPhone Could Reshape the Creative Canvas for Brands
Apple’s foldable entry joins new iPhone 18 Pro models, while analysts say the category still makes up less than 5% of the smartphone market.
- On Wednesday, Apple unveiled its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, at the company's Cupertino, California headquarters, marking entry into the niche foldable category.
- Apple is entering a category already populated by rivals Samsung, Motorola, and Google, following its established playbook of waiting for products to prove market viability before shaping the category.
- Priced at $1,999, the Duo features a 7.6-inch display that is 80% larger than the Pro and supports the Apple Pencil, the most expensive iPhone yet.
- CEO John Ternus introduced the phone, marking a seamless transition from Tim Cook, telling the audience "actually there is one more thing" before revealing the foldable design.
- Foldables currently account for less than 5% of the smartphone market, though Apple simultaneously advances Siri's AI capabilities while managing global memory chip shortages affecting pricing.
