Apple\'s \'Duo\' is not the first as company makes choice shaped by Microsoft\'s failure
Apple’s first foldable iPhone, unveiled on Sept. 9 local time and named iPhone Duo, is the second foldable smartphone to use the “Duo” name after Microsoft’s Surface Duo. Microsoft avoided a flexible folding screen by linking two 5.6-inch OLED panels, but software problems and other shortcomings hurt the product and it was discontinued. Apple is moving early on developer support and app compatibility ahead of an October full-compatibility rollout.
