The iPhone Duo is priced starting at $1,999,


So the two TB version will probably be 3-4k.

And a line will be out the door.

An upgrade from a 17 pro max to this phone will make it really streamlined to get online and bitch about how high living costs are now and how much better older generations had it.

Is this anything other than a suped up flip phone from the early 2000’s?

I can't wait for everyone here to use their $3K iPhone to post about how unaffordable housing is

They're a few years late on pretty much everything they do.

What is this, 2004 or something?

Are there any foldable androids at this point either?

Can it run free open-source software like my Android?

I think Samsung is on the 7th or 8th generation of their "fold" phones.

I looked at them when I got a new phone a few months ago, but I didn't care for the size. If I want a tablet I will just get a tablet, and the novelty wasn't enough of a selling point. I just got the S26 something or the other and will run it til it can't run anymore. My last phone was the S8 Acitve, and it was so old that apps stopped working on it.

Unless you're just so rich you have more money than you know what to do with, I can't fathom spending $2K on a fricking phone.


Wonder if you said the same about $2,000 TVs and $75,000 trucks. But they have been here for awhile.

Yet again, Apple 5-7 yrs behind Samsung and the iPhone-ites will gobble this shite up like it's a revolutionary trend.


No one is saying it’s revolutionary, but Apple makes everything across devices easy, so having a foldable phone as an option isn’t a bad thing. I don’t care for the shape of this thing, but a foldable is an intriguing option.

This $169 Motorola I got from swappa.com 5 years ago is still doing just fine.
It makes phone calls and everything....

Jobs was revolutionary. But when he died Apple became “let’s let others invent and we will just copy.”


You must be unfamiliar with the Xerox PARC trip Jobs and others took in the early 80s. Xerox had things like Ethernet and GUIs years before the Mac was invented.

Apple is resting on its laurels now. It’s not even close to being the same kind of company it was in the mid to late 2000s. Jobs was an absolute genius in terms of innovation and creation. There will never be another big tech CEO like him.

"OMG APPLE IS SOOOOO INNOVATIVE"

fricking wild that Microsoft had this, with the exact same name that released 6 years ago

Apple is ballsy as frick for gaslighting people into thinking they're so creative
