Apple unveils foldable iPhone and touchscreen laptop under new CEO John Ternus
Apple announced a foldable iPhone model and a touchscreen laptop, marking its first major hardware launches since John Ternus became chief executive.
Apple disclosed plans for a foldable iPhone, referred to as the iPhone Duo, and a touchscreen laptop during a product announcement this week. The company also introduced a new wearable device, Apple HomeView, priced at $300. The announcements come shortly after John Ternus, a 25-year veteran of the firm, assumed the role of chief executive officer.
Ternus appeared on the cover of Time magazine holding the foldable iPhone Duo. > "The other examples in the world felt kind of cheap and crappy," he told the publication.
Analysts noted that the foldable phone has experienced early reports of screen cracking, and that the touchscreen laptop revisits a concept previously dismissed by former leaders. Apple has not provided detailed specifications for the new devices, but the company indicated that the products will enter the market later this year.
Industry observers said the launches signal Apple’s effort to expand its hardware lineup amid growing competition in the AI-driven smartphone market.
