On September 13, local time, well-known technology reporter Mark Gurman wrote that Apple's first folding screen iPhone Duo is expected to push folding phones into the mainstream, and it is expected that Apple will further expand this product line in the next few years, launch the iPhone Duo Max with a larger screen, and may even launch the Duo SE with a simplified configuration or Duo mini with a vertical folding design. Gulman said that in the end, Apple chose “Duo” over “Ultra,” which was widely speculated by the outside world, partly because “Duo” has three letters like Air and Pro, which is more suitable as a product series name, and leaves room for adding suffixes such as “Max” and “SE” in the future. Previously, Apple's internal employees once called this folding screen iPhone “Ultra.” Gulman predicts that as technology costs fall and the use of folding screen devices increases, folding phones may account for more than half of new mobile phone sales in the next ten years. Currently, folding phones account for about 2% of global smartphone shipments.
