Summary
$1,999 was the figure attached to the unreleased iPhone Duo that turned into an Emmy-weekend status object, with celebrities asking Apple CEO John Ternus for early access.
Page Six reported stars were "begging" for the foldable, including one unnamed celebrity who asked Ternus to put him "on the list" for a device.
Ternus showed the phone at an Apple party and again on the red carpet, pulling it from his tuxedo jacket and unfolding it during a Deadline interview.
The Duo is Apple's first foldable iPhone, opening into a larger display before folding back to standard smartphone size, and its Hollywood reception adds to pre-release buzz ahead of a launch expected next month.
