I hate when Android brands copy Apple — but the iPhone Duo is the exception

The iPhone Duo is no longer a dream. Apple officially unveiled its first foldable iPhone at its September launch event, and while we’ll have to wait until later this month to actually get our hands on one, Apple entering a new category with a particular direction in mind usually means one thing: Android brands are about to follow.

I’ve been pretty critical of Android OEMs over the past few years for blindly copying Apple’s strategies and bringing them to their own products. It often makes Android phones feel less interesting, less innovative, and, to be honest, sometimes just annoying.
