Not everyone is loving their new iPhone Duo
The Verge • • general
Key Points:
- The iPhone Duo, launched just over two weeks ago, has seen some early adopters returning the device due to issues like a small outer screen, subpar cameras, and the hinge experiencing first-generation problems.
- Some users found the Duo's two-in-one phone and tablet concept inconvenient, as it disrupted multitasking habits like watching videos on an iPad while using a phone separately.
- Despite curiosity about foldable devices, strong loyalty to the Apple ecosystem led many returning customers to revert to traditional iPhones rather than switch to Android foldables.
- Additional complaints included the Duo's weight and bulkiness, with some users experiencing accidental damage early on and deciding the device was impractical for daily use.
- Apple’s extended holiday return policy allows new Duo buyers until January 8, 2027, to return the phone, and while some users have returned it, others continue to enjoy the unique features and form factor.
