## Summary

Apple has officially entered the foldable market with the iPhone Duo, a book-style foldable featuring a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner OLED screen. The video highlights its nearly invisible crease, smooth hinge, and a starting price of $2,000, positioning it as a strong competitor in the foldable space.

### Key Points

- **iPhone Duo announced** [00:00] — Apple's first folding iPhone is called the iPhone Duo. It uses a shorter, passport-style book fold, similar to Samsung's Fold 8.
- **Display specifications** [00:14] — The outer display is 5.4 inches and shaped like the letter D. When opened, it reveals a 7.6-inch OLED screen, comparable to an iPad mini.
- **Crease and hinge quality** [00:30] — The crease is nearly invisible thanks to an anti-glare finish and a well-made hinge. The opening and closing action is quick and smooth.
- **Price and animations** [00:43] — The iPhone Duo starts at $2,000, which is expensive but less than anticipated. The device features many cool animations during use.

## Transcript

All right, the folding iPhone is here. It's real. It's called the iPhone Duo, and there's basically three things you need to know about it. One is the obvious one, the shape. This isn't the Duo, though. But for their first folding iPhone, they've decided to go with the shorter passport
shaped book style foldable, just like Samsung did with their Fold 8. So that means you have a smaller 5.4 inch display on the outside when it's closed that's shaped like the letter D. And then when you open it up, you have a 7.6 inch OLED, basically iPad mini, which conveniently
brings me to number two, which is the crease slash hinge. And I feel like I can confidently say this is one of the best I've ever seen in a foldable. You almost never see it. And that is thanks to a clever anti-glare finish and a really well-made hinge. We're all curious to see if Apple would
pull that off. I think they've done a pretty good job. That brings us to number three, which is the price. It starts at $2,000, which is very expensive. Not as expensive as I thought it would have been though. And I'm really just not over this animation. This is one of many very cool animations that
plays as you use this phone, opening it and closing it is very quick, very smooth. Get subscribed for way more on this and all the rest of the Apple stuff coming soon in a video in your sub box.
