Just a few days after Apple\u2019s September event<\/a>, there\u2019s already a pretty interesting gap opening up on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple\u2019s iPhone Duo introduction video<\/a> has pulled 25 million views<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The iPhone 18 Pro introduction?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

16 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s over twice as many views for the foldable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And honestly, it makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iPhone 18 Pro is the familiar flagship. Faster, shinier, better cameras<\/a>, all the usual stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Duo<\/a> is new<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the kind of product that makes people stop scrolling because you actually want to see how the thing works. How does it fold? \u2014 What happens to the apps? \u2014 How does that enormous display behave? \u2014 What does it feel like when it\u2019s closed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even people with absolutely no intention of buying one probably want to have a look.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And 25 million views in just four days<\/strong> suggests Apple has managed to turn the Duo from \u201cthat weird new foldable iPhone\u201d<\/a> into something people are genuinely curious about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, the iPhone 18 Pro<\/a> might be the safer bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But right now, the Duo<\/a> seems to have the world\u2019s attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because maybe, just maybe, this is Apple\u2019s most interesting proposition for a new iPhone \u2026 yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
