Is Apple’s foldable iPhone Duo worth $2,000? See how it stacks up against other foldable phones.

YOU KNOW THAT THING EVERYONE PREDICTED AND HONESTLY THE TECH ANALYSTS ARE ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS ABOUT THE PRICE TAG WHICH SITS AT A COOL TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS BECAUSE THEY ARE QUESTIONING WHETHER IT ACTUALLY STACKS UP AGAINST THE COMPETITION. SAMSUNG AND GOOGLE HAVE BEEN DOMINATING THE FOLDABLE MARKET FOR A LONG TIME, SO APPLE IS FINALLY ENTERING THE SPACE. PREORDERS STARTED THIS FRIDAY AND THE MARKET IS DEBATING IF THE HARDWARE QUALITY JUSTIFIES THAT MASSIVE COST OR IF WE ARE SIMPLY PAYING A PREMIUM FOR THE BRAND NAME. IT IS A SERIOUS FINANCIAL GAMBLE FOR THE COMPANY TO ENTER THIS SPECIFIC NICHE AT THIS PRICE POINT WITHOUT ANY HISTORICAL DATA ON CONSUMER DEMAND FOR THEIR FOLDABLES. I AM ANALYZING THE MARGINS HERE AND HONESTLY IT IS A TOUGH SELL FOR THE AVERAGE CONSUMER. ANYWAY REMEMBER I TOLD YOU FIRST.

TBH THIS ONE IS WILD BECAUSE APPLE IS FINALLY JUMPING INTO THE FOLDABLE PHONE MARKET WITH THE NEW IPHONE DUO AND THE INVESTORS ARE FURIOUS ABOUT THE STRATEGY BEHIND SUCH A HIGH PRICE TAG. WE ARE TALKING TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE, WHICH IS A SERIOUS AMOUNT OF CAPITAL FOR A NEW CATEGORY ENTRY. PREORDERS OPENED FRIDAY AND NOW THE WHOLE INDUSTRY IS WAITING TO SEE IF THEY CAN ACTUALLY CHALLENGE THE MARKET DOMINANCE OF SAMSUNG AND GOOGLE WHICH HAVE BEEN THE GIANTS IN THIS SPACE FOR AGES. THE ARTICLE DOES NOT SAY IF THEY HAVE NEW SOFTWARE TO MAKE THE FOLDING TECH WORTH THAT KIND OF MONEY BUT THE INVESTMENT POTENTIAL IS BEING WATCHED CLOSELY. I AM TRYING TO REMAIN PROFESSIONAL BUT THE VALUATION HERE IS JUST SO DIFFICULT TO JUSTIFY. ANYWAY TELL ME IF YOU HEAR ANYTHING ELSE.

Apple has launched its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, at a $2,000 price point, with preorders beginning Friday as it enters a market long dominated by competitors Samsung and Google.
