- Apple’s $1,999 foldable phone is set to hit stores Friday, are you buying one?
Apple's first foldable iPhone, the Duo, hits stores on Friday, October 23, starting at $1,999 for 256GB and rising to $3,199 for 2TB. Apple called pre-orders “nothing short of extraordinary,” pushing online delivery estimates to late January 2027, and retail staff were reportedly told to warn customers not to expect in-store purchases without a pre-order. Bloomberg Intelligence says Duo sales could exceed its prior estimate of 14 million units and $28 billion in fiscal 2027 revenue, while Loop Capital downgraded Apple, arguing cut iPhone shipments may not recover and the Duo will not lift ASPs. Forecasts diverge widely, from about 6 million Duo units in 2026 (Counterpoint) to 10 million over the coming quarters (Dan Ives), and Apple has not disclosed launch volumes or pre-order numbers. The article's base case is that the financial impact will be back-loaded into fiscal 2027 rather than the current quarter, with Apple reporting results on November 2.
- Apple's iPhone Duo Demand Tracking 'Solidly Out Of The Gate', Says Analyst As AAPL Stock Caps Off Best Week Since September Launch
Apple shares rose over 2% this week, their strongest week since the iPhone Duo launch, though they edged up only 0.4% in Friday's regular session. Evercore ISI said iPhone Duo delivery dates quickly stretched to late January, roughly 100 days, across all regions and configurations it tracks, and described demand as tracking “solidly out of the gate,” while noting that tight supply could also explain the longer wait. Deepwater's Gene Munster estimates 20 million Duo units in fiscal 2027, versus a Street estimate of 10 million, and sees the long lead times as a sign of a fast start, though Apple's production capacity is unknown. Munster also said iPhone 18 Pro lead times fell to 5% below last year's level after two weeks, and that Pro Max lead times are now roughly in line with last year's model. Evercore maintained its 'Outperform' rating and $380 price target, and AAPL is up 26% year-to-date and 39% over the past 12 months.
- iPhone Duo Preorders Begin Friday. Is Apple’s First Foldable Phone Reason Alone to Buy the Stock?
Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, goes on sale with a starting price of $1,999, and Apple is offering leasing, financing and carrier deals. The article says its 5.4-inch phone and 7.6-inch tablet modes will mainly appeal to existing iPhone users upgrading from models priced at $1,099 to $1,299, bringing Apple 54% to 82% more revenue per sale. Counterpoint Research forecasts 6 million Duo sales in 2026, and IDC expects 10 million in the first 12 months. Selling 5 million units per quarter for a year would generate about $40 billion, just under 10% of Apple's $416.2 billion 2025 revenue, so the article sees it as a revenue boost rather than a game changer. The HomeView smart display, priced at $299 and launching November 13, could be the longer-term driver by strengthening Apple's connected home ecosystem.

- What Is a Bitcoin-Backed Loan? Borrowing Against BTC Explained
The article explains that Bitcoin-backed loans let holders pledge BTC as collateral to borrow dollars or stablecoins, keeping their Bitcoin exposure and often avoiding a taxable sale, though rules vary by jurisdiction. Loan-to-value ratios typically range from about 30% to 70%, and borrowers face margin calls or liquidation if Bitcoin's price falls sharply. Lenders are either centralized companies such as Ledn, Strike, Unchained, Nexo and Coinbase, or DeFi protocols such as Aave and Morpho. The market has returned in a more cautious form since Celsius and BlockFi went bankrupt in 2022, with published rates still running from about 5.8% to 14%. Galaxy Research put total crypto-backed loan volume at $56.16 billion in Q2 2026, down 16.8% from the previous quarter.
- How Ukraine’s drone strikes on Russia crippled the world’s second largest diesel supplier
Ukraine launched more than 1,000 drones at Russia on Sunday, setting ablaze an oil export terminal in St. Petersburg. According to Kpler, Russia's diesel exports fell more than 75% to 141,000 barrels per day in September from 608,000 a year earlier, as strikes on refineries and oil infrastructure rose to 31 in July from 11 in January. Kpler's Matt Smith said Trump's deal to boost Russian diesel exports is unlikely to work without an energy ceasefire. The national average diesel price reached $6.32 per gallon, nearly 75% above a year earlier according to AAA, while Middle East disruptions have cut global diesel exports by about 1 million barrels per day. The International Energy Agency expects diesel supplies to stay constrained well into 2027.
- AMD vs. Nvidia. 1 Metric Proves Which Is the Best Stock.
The article argues Nvidia is the better stock to buy over AMD, based on revenue growth and valuation. In 2026, AMD shares have risen about 150% while Nvidia has returned 16%. AMD's data center revenue rose 107% to $6.7 billion in Q2 and total revenue grew 50% to $11.5 billion, while Nvidia's data center business grew 117% to $89 billion and total revenue rose 106% to $96.2 billion. If both companies hit next year's earnings projections, Nvidia would trade at 13 times earnings versus 33.5 times for AMD, which the author sees as a large premium. AMD reports Q3 results on Nov. 3.
- Meet the Vanguard ETF That Just Bought SpaceX for the 4th Consecutive Month
The Vanguard Communication Services ETF (VOX) has added SpaceX shares every month since the company's June 12, 2026 IPO, lifting its holdings to 1,209,387 shares as of Sept. 30 from 632,077 on June 30. SpaceX is now the fund's seventh-largest holding, while major Vanguard market and growth ETFs have barely increased their holdings since June. The float is limited: about 2.3 billion shares have unlocked, or 17.5% of SpaceX's 13.18 billion outstanding shares, so its float-adjusted weight remains below what its $1.93 trillion market cap would imply. As more shares unlock, the article notes, SpaceX's float-adjusted weight should increase. Alphabet and Meta Platforms make up 47% of the fund.

- “Your money is still safe”: Reassuring message for Russians reveals what happened to the internet system
Attacks from Ukraine on Russian data centers in October disrupted dozens of services, from taxi and food delivery to banking and email. According to NetBlocks, connectivity to Yandex Cloud fell to about 30% of normal after attacks between October 8 and 11, affecting 84 cloud services. Yandex confirmed one data center was severely damaged, another was shut down and a third was disrupted, and has not disclosed the full extent of the damage or a recovery timeline. Yandex Pay was still only partly working as of Monday, and dozens of court hearings across Russia were also disrupted by technical problems. According to T-Invariant, all three of Yandex's supercomputers are likely also heavily affected, which could leave Russia years behind in the AI race.
