- Apple's $1,999 iPhone Duo hits stores Friday amid limited supplies
Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, goes on sale Friday at a starting price of $1,999, but supply is tight. Pre-orders sold out almost immediately and delivery times now stretch into late January, while Apple Stores have only limited units for walk-in customers. Scalpers are reselling the phone on sites like eBay for more than $4,000. The iPhone generated $209.58 billion of Apple's $416.16 billion revenue in 2025, well ahead of Services at $109.15 billion.
- Decoding falling smartphone shipments: What's the incentive?
Global smartphone shipments, including iPhones, have fallen substantially, and the panel partly attributes this to rising costs. Christine says memory costs have surged over 300%, citing an IDC research director who said costs have not yet bottomed and will worsen before improving. She argues that value-conscious consumers have little incentive to spend around $1,300 on a new iPhone, and that manufacturers' margins are squeezed because they cannot fully pass costs on. Another speaker argues newer phones offer better chips, screens and battery life, while Speaker C says a three-year-old phone still works well, and a further speaker suggests growing software demands can push users to upgrade.
- Apple's $2,000 iPhone Duo Debuts With Limited Supply
Apple Inc. has already shown strong demand for its foldable iPhone Duo, priced at $2,000 and up, and now must meet that demand. The device went on sale Friday, and people lined up overnight to get it first, a once-familiar sight. The Duo marks the company's most radical reinvention in the iPhone's nearly two-decade history and is a major bet that Apple can establish itself in a category that has remained niche so far.

- Apple Duo goes on sale in-store as iPhone 18 demand disappoints
Apple's iPhone Duo is now on sale in stores, priced from $2,000 up to $3,200 for the 2 terabyte version. The hosts said it is sold out, and new online orders show delivery as late as the end of January. Early analyst reports from Asia suggest iPhone 18 demand was below expectations, raising the question of whether Duo sales can offset that. The hosts described the Duo as a consumption device with a weaker camera that lacks optical zoom and heats up, while the iPhone 18 Pro was called a true pro phone with a more robust camera.

- Canadian ‘crypto king’ case to go to jury as criminal trial winds down
Aiden Pleterski, a self-described “crypto king” in Canada, faces fraud charges over his alleged role in a digital asset Ponzi scheme, and the case will go to jury deliberations after closing arguments. Pleterski told the court he is innocent, saying he was forced to represent himself and that his innocence would otherwise have been proven. According to CBC, the jury will begin deliberating Thursday after receiving final instructions from Justice Shaun Nakatsuru. He is accused of defrauding about $30 million from social media followers between 2021 and 2022, was charged in 2024, and had waited more than two years for trial; a fraud conviction could bring up to 14 years in prison. Separately, five men, some reportedly victims of the scheme, were charged with kidnapping and torturing him in 2022, and one of them, Deren Akyeam-Pong, pleaded guilty to nine charges and awaits sentencing.
- Here are five key takeaways from the Fed rate decision and Warsh news conference
The Fed held its benchmark rate steady as widely expected, stressing a patient approach while it gathers more information on inflation's return to the 2 percent goal. Starting in 2027 the committee will still meet eight times, but one meeting will have no rate vote or post-meeting statement, and strategy meetings rise to two, leaving six chances to adjust rates outside emergency meetings. Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack both dissented; Cook had not dissented at all since joining in 2022, which made her vote a surprise. Chair Kevin Warsh said AI is one of several factors driving a strong expansion. The press conference was cut to half an hour, with reporters limited to one question each.
