The claim
Apple is developing a larger wide-format foldable, dubbed 'iPhone Duo 2 Plus', for 2027 to compete with a rumored bigger Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 9 Plus.
Why we rated it Shaky
A single post on X from tipster TheGalox, relayed by GSMArena and Android Headlines; the name is likely a placeholder. Android Headlines calls it the first report of its kind for Apple and urges caution. A bigger or cheaper Fold 9 sibling has been rumored since late October, but the Apple half has no corroboration, and Apple only just launched its first foldable.
