Apple has officially entered the foldable smartphone market with the introduction of the iPhone Duo, a premium device featuring a high starting price of $1,999. While the company showcased the hardware’s versatility for work, entertainment, and AI, industry analysts expressed concerns regarding its vague marketing and lack of a specific target audience. Despite these criticisms, experts anticipate strong initial sales driven by brand loyalty and the device's status as a luxury symbol. However, the high cost may ultimately limit the phone to a small group of wealthy early adopters rather than the general public. This launch places Apple in direct competition with Samsung, the current market leader, which has already established a significant presence in the foldable category. Total market growth for these devices remains slow, as they struggle to move beyond a niche product segment.
