Apple Launches iPhone Duo, Its First Foldable Phone with 7.6-Inch Display

Apple has officially unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first-ever foldable smartphone, entering a market that Samsung has dominated for over seven years. When closed, the device resembles the size of a passport with a 5.4-inch outer display, and unfolds to reveal a 7.6-inch screen — the largest ever on an iPhone.

The phone is built with a titanium frame, Ceramic Shield 2 on the front, toughened Ceramic Shield glass on the rear, and carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
