At its September fall event, Apple introduced its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max (with variable camera aperture and a new chip), a cheaper AirPods 5 with active noise cancellation, and the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 with updated health-tracking features. The Watch lineup keeps familiar designs, with no refresh to the entry-level Watch SE for 2026, and none of the wearables saw price increases. Follow-up coverage detailed the iPhone Duo further: the passport-style foldable is set to launch October 23rd at $1,999, positioning it above rivals like the Pixel 11 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8. Reviewers noted its hardware closely mirrors existing Android foldables but praised Apple's software polish as its most distinguishing feature, while additional preorder details for the new Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 were also published.
