Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Apple posted $109.4 billion revenue in July 2026, up 16% year over year.
- The 9 September 2026 event could launch iPhone 18 and Apple’s first foldable.
- Berkshire still owns Apple because buybacks cut shares 45% since 2012, amplifying EPS.
What critics are saying
- The UK ATT £2 billion class action targets Apple’s ad-tracking advantage and 2021 policy.
- German regulators forced ATT redesigns on 17 August 2026, signaling wider EU enforcement pressure.
- Foldable iPhone production is stuck at hundreds daily, risking a weak 2026 premium launch.
What makes Apple unique
- Apple’s integrated hardware-software stack keeps iPhone, Mac, iPad, and services tightly locked together.
- John Ternus, since 1 September 2026, inherits Apple’s design-led execution culture from Tim Cook.
- Apple’s ecosystem monetizes hardware buyers through App Store, iCloud, Apple Pay, and subscriptions.

The Live Rewind function captures 15 seconds of conversation and converts it to text after the wearer double-presses the Digital Crown. Whilst the watch emits an audible tone to alert nearby people, this doesn't constitute legal consent in 11 US states requiring all-party consent for recordings. The watch processes audio through its S11 chip and nearby iPhone, discarding the original recording after creating text. Siri Recap summarises conversations throughout the day without retaining audio or identifying speakers. The Electronic Frontier Foundation criticised the feature, arguing people lack practical means to consent or decline recording. EFF's Adam Schwartz warned the technology threatens conversational privacy and spontaneity, urging users to reconsider using it out of respect for others.
AT&T CEO John Stankey expressed scepticism about Apple's newly unveiled foldable iPhone Duo, priced at $1,999. Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia and Technology Conference, Stankey said the device is "not new", noting that Android manufacturers like Samsung and Google have sold foldables for years without broad market success. "What we've seen is that it tends to function more as a specific niche type application as opposed to [being] broadly accepted," Stankey said. He acknowledged Apple could prove him wrong but doubted it would change market dynamics significantly. IDC analyst Francisco Jeronimo estimates foldables represent only about 2.2% of global smartphone sales in 2026. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 retails for $1,899.
Apple unveiled its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, priced from $1,999 to $3,199. The device features a 7.6-inch inner display and 5.4-inch outer screen, allowing users to run two apps simultaneously. The Duo costs $800 more than Apple's new iPhone 18 Pro. CEO John Ternus called it "the most transformational change to iPhone since the original". Whilst Samsung, Huawei, Google, and Motorola already sell foldables, these devices remain niche. IDC expects global foldable shipments to reach 22.9 million units in 2026, representing just over 2% of the smartphone market. However, analysts believe Apple's entry could shift the landscape. IDC forecasts Apple will ship over 17 million foldable iPhones by 2027, capturing roughly 40% of the global foldables market. The company's large customer base may drive broader adoption of the expensive new format.
Apple has unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable smartphone, in new CEO John Ternus' debut product launch. The device opens to a 7.6-inch display with a 5.4-inch outer screen when closed, starting at $1,999 in the US. Ternus took over from Tim Cook on 1 September 2026 and presented the Duo eight days later. Preorders begin 16 October, with availability from 23 October. The Duo runs on Apple's A20 Pro chip, supports up to 2TB storage, and features a 48-megapixel main camera. It uses a Grade 5 titanium frame with IP68 water and dust resistance. Apple enters a market already established by Samsung since 2019 and Chinese manufacturers. The company is betting its ecosystem can make foldables mainstream, whilst foldables currently represent a small fraction of global smartphone sales.
Apple held its first product event under new CEO John Ternus at Apple Park, unveiling the company's first foldable iPhone. The event highlighted Apple's artificial intelligence strategy, positioning Siri and the iPhone ecosystem as central to its AI efforts. Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook as chief executive officer, used the occasion to showcase premium hardware innovations whilst emphasising the company's AI capabilities. The debut of the foldable iPhone marks a significant hardware evolution for Apple, entering a market segment previously dominated by competitors like Samsung and Huawei. The event signals Apple's strategic direction under new leadership, combining high-end device development with enhanced AI integration across its product line.
