Apple CEO Critiques Early Foldables as 'Cheap and Crappy'

In a recent interview with TIME, Apple CEO John Ternus referred to early foldable smartphones as devices that felt 'kind of cheap and crappy'. Despite Samsung launching its first foldable in 2019, Apple has chosen to take its time to develop its own device, the iPhone Duo, which boasts a premium design and a barely noticeable crease.

## Why it matters Ternus's statement highlights Apple's philosophy of prioritizing quality and user experience over the rush to market. With the iPhone Duo, Apple aims not only to compete in the foldable space but also to set a high standard for design and functionality.

## What we know The iPhone Duo is designed to offer a superior user experience, focusing on innovation and high-quality manufacturing. It is expected to be available for pre-order starting this Friday at 5 a.m. Pacific Time. The company has worked on this device to ensure it meets its high-quality standards.

## What remains unclear While Ternus has shared his vision regarding foldables and the quality of the iPhone Duo, specific details about its technical specifications or pricing have yet to be revealed. Users are eager to see how the iPhone Duo will actually compare to other foldable devices on the market.
