Apple launches its first foldable phone, iPhone Duo, and Samsung says, "We'll wait until you finish reheating our leftovers."

Apple will launch its first foldable screen phone, iPhone Duo, at the 2026 autumn conference, priced at US$1,999. Old rival Samsung posted eight posts in a row on the X platform criticizing Apple for its lack of innovation, and said, "We'll wait until you finish reheating our leftovers." Although the two sides are constantly arguing with each other on social media, the Korea Herald pointed out that the key folding screen of the iPhone Duo is still supplied by Samsung Display, showing a business phenomenon of "being cruel on the table but still counting money off the table." The incident sparked heated discussions in communities in many countries, and even sparked an online battle over the conflicting name between the model name "Duo" and the language learning software Duolingo.

The price of the iPhone 18 Pro series has increased significantly, and iPhone fans are complaining that they can’t bear it. Channels advise not to wait for the standard version next year.

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro series was officially released, with a significant price increase. The starting price reached 44,900 yuan, and the top-spec 2TB version went up to 93,900 yuan, which made Apple fans unable to bear it. Tongtong Jiesheng pointed out that the cost of memory and other components has increased, and it will be difficult to maintain the "sweet price" of the standard version of iPhone 18 next year. It is recommended that those in need of replacement consider the iPhone 17 or buy the iPhone 17 Pro series before the stock bottoms out, because this series has been removed from Apple's official website, and Tongtong's spot stock will be out of stock around Double 12.

Apple's first foldable phone iPhone Duo unveiled, with almost invisible creases and proven durability

Apple's first foldable phone, iPhone Duo, has been officially unveiled. When viewed from the front, the crease is almost invisible. It requires a specific angle to detect it and is not noticeable to the touch. Apple uses a special polymer anti-scratch coating, nano-texture layer and multi-layer adhesive to reduce pressure and visual interference, and uses a grade 5 titanium frame and IP68 waterproof and dustproof design to increase durability. Taiwan's "Mr. Crazy" actually tested it and pointed out that although the creases are still visible under the black screen, the degree of dent is much better than that of earlier models.

Global carrier board output value will reach US$19.51 billion in 2026, an annual increase of 32.3%, and high-end carrier boards have become a key link in AI computing

As the demand for generative AI, high-performance computing and data centers heats up, the global semiconductor substrate industry has entered a new stage of high-end product upgrades and material supply bottlenecks. The global substrate output value will reach US$14.75 billion in 2025, an annual increase of 18.5%; it is estimated to reach US$19.51 billion in 2026, an annual increase of 32.3%. Taiwan’s ABF carrier board market share reaches 41.3%, ranking first in the world, demonstrating its key position in the AI ​​chip packaging and high-performance computing supply chain. However, the supply of Low CTE fiberglass cloth required for high-end carrier boards continues to be tight. It takes time for new production capacity to be put into production and ramped up. It is difficult to significantly increase supply capacity in the short term. In terms of advanced packaging technology, glass core is regarded as an important development direction for the next generation of high-end carrier boards, but challenges such as material brittleness, processing and reliability verification still need to be overcome.
