In a recent interview, Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, John Ternus, offered candid remarks regarding the smartphone landscape, addressing concepts like an "iPhone Duo" alongside the broader market for foldable devices.
Ternus did not hold back when discussing the current state of folding hardware, critiquing experiences that feel "cheap and crappy." His comments reflect Apple's traditional philosophy of avoiding new form factors until the engineering, display durability, and overall user experience meet the company's internal standards.
While rivals have embraced foldables across various price points, Apple remains deliberate in its approach. The hardware chief's perspective suggests the Cupertino company is unwilling to ship compromised designs simply to chase emerging industry trends.
