After four years of leaks, rumors, and "sources familiar with the matter," the foldable iPhone exists. It's called the iPhone Duo, it opens like a book into a pocketable iPad-sized screen, and it starts at $1,999 — a number that apparently looked reasonable in a meeting.
New CEO John Ternus did the honors. This is the first all-new iPhone shape since 2007, unveiled live with the thing half-folded like it's no big deal.
Open it up and it's basically an iPad that folds: iPad-style interface, and — against every early rumor — MagSafe charging survives the crease.
The demo floor minutes after launch. Samsung shipped its first foldable six years ago, so the question isn't whether Apple can do it — it's whether theirs creases.
