00:00Apple just announced its first foldable phone.
00:02It's calling it the iPhone Duo.
00:04iPhone Duo brings an entirely new design
00:07while preserving everything you love and expect from iPhone.
00:10It's going to be released on October 23rd,
00:13starting at a price of $19.99 for the 256GB version.
00:17This is a big deal for Apple
00:19because it takes into the age of the foldable phones
00:22and it's also a big splashy new product
00:24that new CEO John Chernis is able to show to customers.
00:27I tried out the phone and my first impression
00:29was that it is a bit heavier than the current iPhone I own
00:32and also the apps are smaller on the screen
00:34so that gets a bit getting used to.
00:36The positive parts are that it's made really solidly.
00:39It feels well made in terms of the hardware.
00:42It's just a cool new product
00:43that we've never seen from Apple.
00:44The foldable has a 7.6 inch display when opened
00:47and Apple is calling it its thinnest iPhone ever
00:50when it is open.
00:51Apple packed new software into the phone.
00:54So for example, you can view two apps at once
00:56when the phone is unfolded.
00:58The phone also doesn't have Face ID.
01:00It only has Touch ID.
01:01Overall, it's a completely new form factor for Apple
01:04and they're going to have to see if consumers
01:06want to shell out about $2,000 for the device.
