TREE NEWS update: Apple unveiled its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, at its September 9 launch event alongside the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12 and AirPods 5. The foldable has a 7.6-inch inner display, 5.4-inch outer screen, A20 Pro chip and a $1,999 starting price, with pre-orders from October 16 and sales from October 23. AAPL closed down 0.28% at $315.34.
Apple unveils foldable iPhone Duo at $1,999; AAPL slips 0.28%
AI take
Apple's entry into foldables matters less for the hardware than for the price umbrella it sets: a $1,999 starting point anchors the category's premium tier and gives rivals a reference point for their own foldable launches. The muted share reaction suggests the market had already priced in the announcement, leaving execution — pre-order demand from October 16 and sell-through from October 23 — as the real test. Whether the foldable lifts Apple's average selling price without cannibalizing the Pro line is the open question.
