I spent 30 minutes with the iPhone Duo - 3 things you just don’t get from the pictures
Key Points:
- The iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable phone priced at $1,999, impressed with its balanced weight and thickness, offering a reassuring heft compared to thinner, lighter competitors like the Oppo Find N5.
- The device features a matte Nano-texture inner display that reduces glare and enhances productivity, making it ideal for reading, sketching, and note-taking, especially with the Apple Pencil.
- A notable downside is that the Night Sky colorway of the iPhone Duo attracts fingerprints easily, although this can be mitigated by using a case; the device also boasts IP68 water and dust resistance.
- Overall, the iPhone Duo delivers a premium foldable experience with a comfortable form factor and durable build, though its high price point may limit accessibility until users can physically experience the device.
- Further evaluation, including camera performance and iOS 17 features, will be available after more extensive testing when the device launches in October.
