Apple’s first foldable phone, iPhone Duo, was unveiled at the 2026 Apple Autumn Conference as the finale, and received widespread discussion among Apple fans and netizens. The iPhone Duo is not only foldable, but can also be erected into standby mode to display bedside alarm clocks, photos, gadgets and other content. The Swedish furniture brand IKEA also used the appeal of iPhone Duo to follow the trend and publish an article to expose its own alarm clock and take the opportunity to attract traffic.
The latest post on the IKEA social platform reads, “If you can’t afford a mobile phone, then you have to accept your fate and get up early for work tomorrow. For more alarm clocks, please check the official website.” Although it did not specify which mobile phone it is, netizens after watching the iPhone Duo know it.
The shape of the KUPONG alarm clock posted by IKEA is similar to the upright shape of the iPhone Duo. Compared with the astonishing price of the iPhone Duo, which starts at least 74,900 yuan, IKEA’s black stand alarm clock only costs 49 yuan. Of course, the functions of the iPhone Duo and the IKEA alarm clock are far different, but it can be seen that IKEA does not miss any opportunity to follow the trend and gain exposure.
Netizens joked, “Which one is more attractive is the affordable IKEA alarm clock, or the noble and luxurious iPhone Duo?” “One Duo can buy 1,528 small alarm clocks.”
The iPhone Duo starts at NT$74,900 and goes up to NT$118,900 for the 2TB top version. It adopts an eSIM design, a 7.6-inch Super Retina XDR inner screen, and a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR outer screen. It is only 5.2mm thick when unfolded, making it the thinnest iPhone ever, demonstrating Apple’s strong technological capabilities.
