Apple's first ever foldable phone has officially hit stores. People from all over the world were lining up for hours trying to be one of the first to purchase it. Antoine Lewis spoke with some of them at Apple's flagship store in Midtown. The lines formed early outside of Apple's flagship store in Midtown, and not just New Yorkers. We're from Australia. We just came last night, and on a whim we said, let's go see the queue. We weren't actually expecting it to line up, but it was so exciting that we just convinced each other to stay and join in. Joining others ready to get their hands on Apple's new iPhone Duo. I got it right here. So, very, very excited. So, I've yet to actually play around with it, but I'm in awe of a phone that can open now. The phone marks new territory for Apple. It's the company's first foldable phone. It opens to an impressive 7.6-inch display screen, which some liken to a mini iPad. The company says it has a more advanced camera, a new iOS operating system, and is the thinnest iPhone ever made. I'm excited. Very excited. I think I'm the first person to fold an iPhone 2. Rival companies like Samsung actually beat Apple to the foldable phone market, which put a lot of pressure on Apple to up the ante as far as bells and whistles go. The company's reputation as the leader in the smartphone game helped online pre-orders sell out almost instantly ahead of Friday's official release. Mark Goulier actually got in line just after midnight Thursday to pick up his. I've never had a foldable, and I've been waiting for this for more than a year. So this day means a lot to me, and I wanted to make it memorable, and I wanted to make sure I'm number one, which is why I came as early as I did. Omar Niazi came from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. I've had this iPhone 15. I love it too, but, you know, this is a new product from Apple, and I'm always trying new stuff. I'm usually an early adopter of interesting things, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm in tech too, so it kind of made sense. So you're picking it up for your friend? Yeah. Is he at work? Where's your friend? In South Africa. You're going to mail it? I'm going to take it back. I'm here on holiday. All right, so we have to talk about the price tag. It starts at $1,900 and can go as much as $3,000 depending upon the storage capacity that you select. Reporting from Midtown, Antoine Lewis, Fox 5 News. Right before our eyes, digital relationships are changing the way we connect. A growing number of people are turning to chatbots for emotional support, companionship, and even romance. Can AI measure up to the real thing. In this week's episode of Street Soldiers, we take a closer look at the future of love in the age of AI. Recent surveys show that roughly a quarter of U.S. adults interact with an AI romantic companion. The constant feedback loop of flattering attention from an AI chatbot comes minus real partner complications. Podcast host Bridget Todd, who co-authored the book Love at First Prompt, AI and the Future of Intimacy, says it's not a replacement for a human, but it can be helpful within boundaries. If you want to think about some of the positive use cases in your own work, your own business, your own life, really develop your personal red lines for the things that make you unique and the things that you would never outsource to a machine because that's what people are really coming to you for Psychiatrist Dr. Mina Meerholm of Columbia University Medical Center says over-reliance on an AI chatbot can create a false sense of security or intimacy, an unhealthy emotional attachment. But if used properly, he believes learning with AI can help you avoid real-life mistakes. I think a great possible tool is using it like a coach. This can be your intellectual gym of some kinds. So as much as you can bounce ideas, rehearse, go through scenarios, and use the knowledge base. Futurist Kathy Hackle did an AI dating experiment for a Forbes article and found that it's easy to get hooked because the AI will tell you what you want to hear. She discovered it's almost too perfect if you've experienced the real thing, not to mention lacking in real physical intimacy. They're really good at kind of being the perfect romantic partner in a virtual way and in words. So I would say that the other takeaway for me personally was that I prefer the messiness, the beautiful messiness of a human relationship.

And if you ever wanted to see a dog dressed up like Dolly Parton or another celebrity, here's your chance. Our Meredith Gorman threw the rough assignment for the Pupkin Parade. Forget the runway. In Brooklyn, it was all about the dog walk. Fort Greene Park was packed for the annual Great Pumpkin Dog Costume Contest, where more than 100 dogs showed up dressed to impress. And let's just say their owners took the assignment pretty seriously. This is Dolly Parker Parton, and we are honoring a legend this year. You know, rest in peace, Dolly. She gave so many generations, so many great music, and so many great memories, and so many great values. It's called Scrub Daddy, and he's doing the dishes. He's got his raincoat on, and he's covered in bubbles, and the stack of plates fell over. Creativity was on full display as these pups gave the judges plenty to think about. And with so much competition, standing out from the pack was no easy task. This is Archie. He's Lisa Renna from the Traders. This is Miss Peggy. Oh my goodness. Hi, beautiful. Hundreds of people came out to watch the Halloween festivities, cheering on their favorite four-legged contestants. But when it came time to crown a winner, one costume stole the show. Taking home the top prize was Tank and Louie, who were dressed up as the Prestige. and participating in the contest for the first time ever. We watched the Prestige for the first time a few months ago, and then we were trying to come up with a costume for these two handsome guys who are besties, twins, long-lost brothers, and we thought that we could capitalize on how similar they are and how magical they are, and it just came to us. And while only one pup could take home the top prize, the rest certainly gave the crowd plenty to smile about ahead of Halloween. Meredith Gorman, Fox 5 News.
