Bent out of shape: High cost means foldables account for just 2% of the smartphone market. Photo / Getty Images Apple has finally folded. The iPhone Duo is the company’s first bendable handset, and it is a striking piece of industrial design. But most of us will never own one: the entry-level model costs $4199.

Read excerpt
Now is the time to be upfront with tech companies and outline the conditions under which NZ will host data centres and protect and reward the people whose content underpins AI models.
