What happened
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple's foldable iPhone will be called iPhone Duo, not iPhone Ultra, with a base 256GB model at USD 2,000 (~RM8,136) and a 2TB variant at USD 3,000 (~RM12,204). The device features an A20 Pro chip, Apple C2 modem, magnetic hinge, and notably supports Apple Pencil—countering Samsung's decision to drop S Pen support from its foldable lineup.
Why it matters
For Malaysian developers building iOS apps, the passport-style foldable form factor and Pencil support mean new UI/UX considerations for multitasking and stylus input. The ~RM8,136 starting price also signals a premium device segment that may influence app pricing and feature decisions for the local market.
Discussion angle
Whether Malaysian iOS developers should start preparing app layouts and interactions for a foldable, Pencil-enabled form factor given the October launch timeline and premium pricing.
