Test Driving an iPhone Duo? 6 Things to Try at the Apple Store

Key Points:

• Starting Friday, customers can visit Apple Stores to try the new foldable iPhone Duo, which has not been available for preorder since last week and won't be available again until January.
• The iPhone Duo features a unique foldable design with a minimal crease and matte screen, reducing glare and improving visibility in bright environments compared to other foldable phones.
• Users should test video playback and app behavior on both the inner and outer displays, as the phone’s unusual aspect ratios may cause letterboxing or awkward cropping, similar to other foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8.
• The camera setup lacks a telephoto lens but offers versatile selfie options, including using the outer screen’s 12MP front camera or the twin 48MP rear cameras with the inner display; users are encouraged to test photo quality in-store.
• Prospective buyers should try typing on both the smaller outer screen and the larger inner display, as the front screen’s size and aspect ratio may feel cramped, especially for one-handed use or users with larger hands.
