Apple has entered the foldable smartphone market with the launch of its first foldable device, the iPhone Duo, revealed at the company's fall iPhone event. This marks a significant step for Apple as it expands its product lineup beyond the traditional rigid-screen iPhones.
According to TechCrunch, the announcement highlights Apple's effort to compete with other manufacturers who have already embraced foldable technology. The iPhone Duo is expected to bring new design and functionality to Apple's flagship product range, although detailed specifications have yet to be disclosed.
For Japanese investors and consumers, Apple's move into foldable phones could influence the local smartphone market and impact suppliers and tech stocks involved in flexible display technologies, an area where Japan has strong industrial expertise.
