According to ChainCatcher, veteran tech reporter Mark Gurman said Apple’s first foldable phone, expected to carry the iPhone Duo name, could help push foldable devices into the mainstream. He also said Apple may release a larger-screen iPhone Duo Max in the coming years, suggesting the company could build a broader product family around the Duo branding. Gurman added that Apple appears to have chosen "Duo" as the series name, with possible suffixes such as "Max" and "SE" in the future. He also pointed to a longer-term industry shift: as technology costs fall, foldable phones could account for more than half of new handset sales over the next decade. For now, foldables make up about 2% of global smartphone shipments, based on the figures cited in the report.
