Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo, unveiled as the company's first foldable smartphone, features side-mounted controls and Touch ID that left-handed users argue could make the $1,999 device difficult or unusable without a dedicated left-handed mode. The device has a 7.6-inch inner screen and 5.4-inch outer screen, but its design optimized for right-hand operation has sparked criticism from the left-handed community, though accessibility features are built in.
Apple launched five new products this week including the foldable iPhone Duo ($1,999–$3,199), iPhone 18 Pro ($1,199), iPhone 18 Pro Max ($1,299), Apple Watch Series 12 ($399–$449), and AirPods 5 ($129–$149). Most products saw price increases, though AirPods 5 offers better value than its predecessor.
