Apple has released its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, and I tested it. The device features a 7.6-inch inner display and a 5.4-inch outer display, with a nano-texture matte finish that reduces glare and crease visibility.

Why it matters

The iPhone Duo represents a significant step in mobile technology, offering a new form factor that could revolutionize how we use our smartphones.

Apple made a new phone that can fold in half. It has a big screen on the inside and a smaller screen on the outside. The screen on the inside is smooth and doesn't show any lines when you fold the phone.
