San Francisco: (RightNow) Apple has launched its first foldable phone, ‘iPhone Duo’, in the global market at a price of $2,000. Due to limited availability, buyers face challenges, though enthusiasm is less compared to the past.

From Shanghai to London, long queues were seen outside stores, but the number of people waiting was fewer than before. After Samsung and Huawei, Apple’s attempt could be a significant turning point in the market.

For Apple’s new CEO, John Turnus, this phone is an initial test. Apple has allowed pre-orders of two phones per customer, while online orders are mandatory in China and other countries.

It is clear that the success of Apple’s foldable phone could usher in a new era for the smartphone market. Market research indicates that in 2026, Apple could hold a 44% share in foldable phones.

Remember, Samsung and Huawei are already present in the foldable phone market, and Apple’s iPhone Duo is also stepping into this field.
