iPhone Duo: Apple isn't going to "teach what a foldable is". It's going to "demonstrate why people need a foldable"

Apple is preparing to enter the foldable smartphone market with the iPhone Duo, several years after Samsung, Huawei and other manufacturers have already launched devices in this format. Despite the delay, the company could have a significant impact on the segment.

Francisco Jerónimo, an analyst interviewed by TEK Notícias, says Apple won't simply "teach what a foldable is" but rather "demonstrate why people need a foldable". This approach could be key to accelerating adoption of the format.

The iPhone Duo brings new challenges to the market, but the analyst indicates that Apple's move could also benefit the sector's rivals, as more consumers become exposed to foldable technology.
