The 18 Pro Is Not the Foldable

TL;DR

Reuters filed 18 Pro beside Duo at the Ternus event; Friday still has two products, not one.

MSM Perspective

Reuters filed a pricier foldable beside 18 Pro. Friday does not merge them.

X Perspective

Feeds treat the event as one phone.

Reuters filed a foldable iPhone pricier than 18 Pro at Ternus's first event. [1] This paper has been printing 18 Pro as not the foldable. Friday still has two products. A slab is not a fold. Print two names. Do not merge them.

No Friday merge of 18 Pro and Duo is in Apple copy, so two products remain two products and a slab is not a fold.
Two products are still two products. Friday recap that merges 18 Pro into Duo is a feed, not Reuters.
No single-SKU merge is in Friday's Apple stack.
The merged SKU stays off the page until an edition that owns one.
Reuters already named two products.
Friday is not a single phone.

The foldable remains Duo.
Merging the two phones in copy would erase the pricing story Reuters actually filed. The foldable costs more and ships later. Friday keeps both facts separate.

Separate facts stay separate; Friday's desk keeps them so. Two phones, two prices, two dates. Merging stays off the page.

Merging stays off the page; Friday keeps two phones, two prices, two dates. The foldable costs more and ships later. Reuters already named two products.

Ternus's debut still priced the foldable above 18 Pro. The slab and the foldable still keep separate prices and dates. No Apple copy merged them into one SKU. This desk will not erase the pricing story.
Ternus already named two products. The slab and the foldable still keep separate prices. This desk will not erase that split.
