Briefings
Apple's iPhone Duo pre-orders opened today, marking a massive success despite a launch date pushed to 2027 due to supply chain constraints. This delay reflects a missed opportunity for Apple, as the device was designed to solve the iPhone's single-screen limitation. The launch represents a strategic pivot toward a dual-screen format, though the specific market impact remains uncertain.
