it’s been absolutely hilarious watching all the Android fans that INSISTED the iPhone Duo’s screen was “made entirely by Samsung” suddenly switch to saying “Apple designed the display, Samsung only manufactured one of the 10 layers- to Apple’s specifications” lmao
soo… now that everyone’s gotten to try the iPhone Duo’s form factor- how would we feel about an iPhone Solo?
something interesting i noticed while using the iPhone Duo demo phones at the store: they don’t have any third party apps installed– just the Apple apps that ship on every iPhone
i bet Apple will add third party apps to the demo as they get updated with support for iPhone Duo (hopefully soon!)
anyway, here are screenshots i took of the apps on the demo phones:
the iPhone Duo’s under display camera is pretty good tbh
i wouldn’t use it to record important memories or anything but it’s 100% fine for FaceTime and even selfies imo
bright lights are a bit of a weakness tho
somewhere out there is an alternate universe where Apple made a unibody aluminium Rose Gold iPhone 6s
fun fact: XCode 27.1 (the version of XCode required to build apps for iPhone Duo) only came out last week— meaning developers have only had *any* sort of access to the iPhone Duo via the Simulator for less than a week.
the number of devs with *physical* devices is *even* smaller.
so yes, a lot of apps aren’t optimised for the iPhone Duo yet— but yes, i’m sure a lot of apps will be optimised soon, especially considering all the excitement around the iPhone Duo.
there are already so many cool and unique apps for the iPhone Duo (like DuoMan, which i’m sure you’ve seen already)
writing off the Duo as a “failure” because of the app optimisation before the phone’s even in stores yet is a very dumb take tbh
me when i break my phone and it breaks
Unbelievable! The iPhone Duo's display has been hiding a shocking secret!
Someone finally dared to peel off the matte film covering the iPhone Duo's display, and what they discovered was astonishing.
With the film removed, the screen underneath looks surprisingly uneven, with visible bumps, ripples, and even wrinkles!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This isn't a hidden secret: Apple has publicly confirmed the matte nano-texture layer is intentionally peelable and replaceable. Apple VP Kate Bergeron said customers can peel it off and get a new one, and Apple offers an official $19 replacement service for this exact layer. macrumors.com/2026/10/01/iph… iphoneincanada.ca/2026/10/01/app…
ok so this is pretty obviously how the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 20 will work imo (if it does end up having an under screen camera after all)
invisible by default and appearing only when you use a Live Activity- with this animation
why’s no one talking about how Apple just brought back Slide To Unlock after 10 years lol this is so sick

exactly, i find it so funny that android fanboys are talking about the iPhone Duo’s apps like “gotcha!”
Android foldables have existed for 8 years and yet the majority of android apps aren’t optimised for them
the iPhone Duo isn’t even in stores yet, y’all are embarrassing yourselves 😭
Silver aluminium with the Black glass Apple logo has gotta be my favourite Apple product design ngl, it’s so beautiful
i wonder if it’s possible to take screenshots on HomeView, and how you’d even do that since there aren’t any physical buttons
“hey Siri, take a screenshot”?
