Apple introduced the iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, AirPods 5, and Apple Watch Series 12. The launch gives new CEO John Ternus a sharper hardware story, but the real test is whether a larger iPhone screen and privacy-first AI can justify foldable-phone pricing.
Apple pushed iOS 26.5.2, iPadOS 26.5.2, macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, and Safari 26.5.2 out before the broader 26.6 release cycle, citing AI-driven security concerns. The update is a practical reminder that patch timing now matters as much as patch content.
