Apple’s iPhone Duo launch turns one event into weeks of demand
The most powerful part of an Apple launch is often not the moment a product appears onstage.

Motorola teases a “next move” foldable after Apple’s iPhone Duo moment
Foldables are having one of those rare weeks where the internet is not just debating specs, but debating form factors.
