It's probably fun to run a ~$5 trillion company like Apple. Everybody wants to be in John Ternus' shoes except for Tim Cook—he obviously doesn't want to stay on top of Apple right now. There's a reason for that and it's called the iPhone Duo. Passing the baton Although 2027 will be the most important year for Apple in this decade (after all, in 2027, the iPhone turns 20 years old), 2026 is pretty significant, too. Tim Cook, who took over from Steve Jobs, left his CEO position and passed the...

The quality of reporting on this site is declining due to constant, baseless speculation. I suggest waiting for the official product release before offering analysis rather than churning out clickbait. I am certain that when the iPhone Duo inevitably sets new sales records, the narrative here will shift instantly to praise. I will be switching to GSMArena for more professional and objective coverage.

I would say something back, but I feel bad for you after what you said the other day, so I’ll give you a pass. Honestly, though, don't push your luck.

Well, considering they pretty much bow down to the Chinese phones, enjoy!

And Apple, being the marketing types that they are, could be playing a game saying production is low, problems with the hinge/display causing low inventory in hopes of getting the 🐑 to line up so they can exploit that too.

Personally, I don't care who makes it. A silly phone over $2,000.00 is just insane!

That was one of the funniest comments I’ve ever read. Thanks for the laugh! “Don’t push your luck”. Fire away, Tiger, I’m fairly sure I can a couple of fourth grade insults.

The iPhone Duo will probably be the biggest foldable phone in history, but sure, keep up the Chicken Little act for clicks.

Dude. Pier. This is a factless column of abolute nonsense. I would never buy an Apple Duo; that is, besides the point. You have written nothing. You have said exactly nothing. Why an editor would allow such tripe to be published raises suspicions about the entire publication. Such shallow and uniformed reporting does not lend you much credibility at all.

This article is drivel. It’s just as likely that Cook ceded the chair to Ternus with the iPhone Duo in the wings to jump start the new regime. I can make predictions too, and the Duo’s first year will outdo the entire number of Galaxy Fold phones since first release IF production volumes stabilize and Samsung doesn’t constrain screen deliveries.
