Apple has finally started a new chapter in the history of the technology world after a long wait. This is the first time that the American technology giant has brought a foldable smartphone to the market. On the night of September 9, John Turnbull is coming on stage as the CEO for the first time at the launch of a new foldable phone called Apple's iPhone Duo in Cupertino, California. The new iPhone 18 series has been unveiled alongside this phone.
New AirPods and Apple Watch with more advanced health features. Apple claims that the biggest problem with foldable phones is their design and discomfort in use. The iPhone Duo has been created to eliminate this problem. The phone is quite small when folded. So it can be easily kept in your pocket or hand. Although it looks a lot like a passport, when it is opened, it turns into a large screen. And when fully opened, it is the thinnest iPhone made by Apple so far. The phone has the new A20 Pro chip. The phone will work fast and its speed will not decrease even after long use.
There is a special cooling system to keep the phone cool. So even after using it for a long time, it will be able to work faster than the iPhone 17 Pro. Apple has also used its own C2 cellular modem chip in the phone. This chip works to keep the phone connected to the mobile network. As a result, the dependence on Qualcomm will be reduced in this case. Fast internet can be used. And Bluetooth 6 can be used to connect headphones, watches or other devices more easily.
In addition, the N1 networking chip will properly manage the phone's various types of wireless connections. However, the phone will not have any physical SIM card. That is, it will have to be used only through e-SIM in different countries of the world. In addition, Apple has also given special importance to AI facilities. The new series will work directly on this phone. At the same time, this AI system will be able to work in coordination with about three lakh apps. The iPhone Duo has a 48-megapixel main camera. It is accompanied by a two-time zoom telephoto camera and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
The phone's special Duo Preview feature allows the person in front of the camera to see their own image on the screen while taking a picture. Video can be recorded in 4K at a maximum of 120 frames per second. To take advantage of the foldable screen, iOS 27 has a new multitasking feature called Split View. It allows two apps to be run at the same time. Even two windows of the same app can be opened side by side. There will also be the facility to keep two apps connected to the app for regular use. The phone has two batteries on both sides. So, videos can be watched for up to 31 hours on the large inner screen and up to 44 hours on the outer screen. The battery can be charged up to 50 percent in 20 minutes using a wired charger.
The phone will be available in two colors, Star White and Night Sky. Storage starts from 256 GB to 2 terabytes. The price of the phone in the United States will start at $ 1,999. Pre-orders will start from October 16. And the phone will be available in more than 70 countries from October 23. Along with the foldable iPhone, Apple has also introduced the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. Both models have the new A20 Pro chip. It has also improved AI and battery performance. Apple has also added new technology to recognize images created with AI.
The price of the iPhone 18 Pro will start at $ 1,199. The price of the Pro Max will start at $ 1,200 and the price of the Pro Max will start at $ 1,299. The new EarPods Five will start at $ 139.

All in all, Apple's entry into the foldable phone market will further increase competition with Samsung and Huawei.
