Summary
Apple executives said leaks about the iPhone Duo foldable let rivals copy its passport-style aspect ratio before Apple unveiled the device.
John Ternus and marketing chief Greg Joswiak told TechRadar and Tom's Guide that shared global suppliers make it nearly impossible to keep product development fully secret.
Joswiak singled out Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi as companies that launched similarly wide foldables first, while saying Apple still kept one key feature under wraps.
That undisclosed feature was the iPhone Duo's folding nano-texture display, which Apple said it protected with extra security until launch.
