The device is equipped with the powerful A20 Pro chip and dual 48-megapixel cameras, aiming to compete with existing foldable devices from rivals like Samsung and Google. It is scheduled for release on October 23, with prices starting at 2,339 euros. Alongside this foldable model, Apple introduced the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, both utilizing the new A20 Pro chip and featuring enhanced low-light photography capabilities.
