Apple has opened iPhone Duo pre-orders in India as John Ternus explained its delayed foldable debut. The launch highlights Apple's focus on reducing display creases and improving durability.

In a recent interview with TIME, Apple CEO John Ternus described some early foldable smartphones as feeling "kind of cheap and crappy". Samsung released its first foldable in 2019, but Apple opted to take its time and has now developed the iPhone Duo with a premium design and a barely-noticeable display crease.
