Summary
In a packed Steve Jobs Theater, new Chief Executive John Ternus unveiled the foldable through a video presentation. The iPhone Duo, when open, is 50% larger than Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Max, which it also revealed Wednesday. “We obsess over the details,” Ternus said from the stage before Apple’s video presentation started, as executives and Apple Board Chairman Tim Cook watched. When open, the iPhone Duo is the thinnest Apple has made, and Apple packed it with new software that enables features like usability even when half-folded. One tradeoff appears to be the Duo’s weight, which is noticeably heavier when picking up than Apple’s other phones.
