iPhone Duo: Apple Failed to Eliminate the Major Pain Points of Android Foldables

SAPO Notícias10 September 2026 at 21:00

Apple's iPhone Duo is now starting to appear in real-use videos, revealing the first details about the device. The videos show Apple's foldable smartphone in practical use, allowing for an assessment of its performance and daily functionalities.

The initial details indicate that Apple failed to eliminate some of the major limitations present in Android foldable smartphones. Among the identified problems are common issues with foldable devices that the competition has yet to fully resolve.

The device maintains typical characteristics of foldable smartphones that have been a challenge for the industry. Apple, despite all its experience and resources, ended up facing similar limitations to those of Android manufacturers who have been selling this type of device for longer.

The iPhone Duo represents Apple's entry into the foldable market, but the first real-use videos suggest that the company failed to revolutionize the category the way it did with other products. The persistent limitations may represent an obstacle for those who expected a more refined solution.

Humanoid robots expand possibilities in public education

In 2024, Brazilian public schools face challenges such as high dropout rates, lack of vacancies, and insufficient technological infrastructure. Entrepreneur Jailson Ferreira da Silva proposes the introduction of humanoid robots and robotics kits in classrooms as a solution to improve these indicators. Humanoid robots are programmable machines capable of speaking, moving, and responding to questions, while the kits allow students to assemble and program mechanical devices. According to Ferreira, these tools spark curiosity, facilitate learning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics concepts, and can be adapted to serve students with disabilities, expanding inclusion. Among the highlighted benefits are the stimulation of logical reasoning and solving structured problems through interaction with technology.
