Apple’s first dedicated cases for its folding phone reached store shelves today, the same day preorders opened for the device itself. Buyers who secured an iPhone Duo for delivery next week can walk out with protection already in hand, even as phone stock thins and shipping dates stretch into January for many configurations. Two options sit on the racks: a $79 Case two-part shell and a $129 Folio with a built-in stand.
A second screen can change how a laptop feels during long sessions of writing, spreadsheets, or video calls, and the InnoView 15.6 inch IPS portable monitor, priced at $49.99 (was $60), delivers that change in a package thin enough to slide beside a notebook in most bags. Measuring roughly a quarter-inch thick and weighing a couple of pounds with its included cover, the unit travels without demanding its own separate case or adding noticeable bulk to a daily carry. Once open, the matte IPS panel sits at 1920 by 1080 resolution with 178 degree viewing angles, so text stays readable and colors hold steady even when the screen sits off to one side of a laptop or leans back at an angle on a small table.

Guests at a wedding in Jiangsu province watched the bride guide her new husband through a calculation that looked ordinary on paper. The sum ran 520 times 10 plus 1,314 minus 514 minus 619 plus 666 minus 957 and landed exactly on 5090. In Chinese online shorthand those figures carry familiar meanings: 520 sounds close to the phrase for I love you, 1314 stands for forever, 514 suggests until death, 619 hints at escaping forever, and 666 simply means awesome. Once he arrived at the result, women standing beside the bride brought forward a large bag.
Preorders for Apple’s first foldable iPhone opened at 5 a.m. Pacific time this morning through the company website and Apple Store app, and the available stock disappeared almost at once. Buyers who managed to complete an order in the first few minutes received delivery estimates for Friday, October 23, the official launch day in more than 70 countries. Everyone who arrived even slightly later watched the dates jump forward by three full months.
