Apple comments on the resemblance of wide foldable smartphones to iPhone Duo
Apple executives commented on the emergence of wide foldable smartphones, which Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi announced ahead of the iPhone Duo. The Verge reports, citing interviews given by Apple CEO John Ternus and the company’s marketing chief Greg “Joz” Joswiak to TechRadar and Tom’s Guide journalists.
Apple’s comment
According to Joswiak, leaks had made it known that Apple was working on a foldable smartphone. He said that other manufacturers learned the device’s aspect ratio and ironically mentioned numerous “coincidences” when this format attracted the interest of other companies.
The Verge links these remarks to Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi, which unveiled wide foldable models this year before the iPhone Duo announcement. The outlet also noted that it is difficult to keep product development secret when Apple and its competitors work with the same global suppliers.
