iPhone Duo not having an app dock at the bottom is such a big omission. they really should've added one, would've made switching apps and opening multitasking so much easier.

ios 27😍

*storage starts at 1TB, configurable up to 4TB.

😁🥰

iPhone Duo app opening animations test. SO DAMN SMOOTH and snappy. 😍

fun fact: the weight of the iPhone 18 Pro Max is almost the same as the newly launched iPad mini.

congrats 👏

this test is absolute BS. you literally put the Duo in a bag of sand mid test, then cooled it down before the display failed at 75K folds. sand entering the hinge can create pressure points beneath the OLED with every fold and eventually DESTROY the display. even Samsung foldables aren’t immune to this. add the nonstop folding and extreme conditions, and this is FAR from normal use. i’m betting the Duo can easily survive 250K+ folds under normal conditions. saying 75K is its actual lifespan is just ridiculous.🤦‍♂️

me who lost 460k in a day 😭

🥲😭😭

finally got to try the iPhone Duo properly, and here are my impressions. the good AND the bad: Design & Build -first thing I noticed is how THICK it is when folded compared to the Z Fold 8. -feels VERY premium though, genuinely. -the hinge felt a bit tight, noticeably tighter than the Z Fold 8 imo. Display -the outer display is obviously glossy, no nano-texture here. -the inner display is SO beautiful. and yes, the crease is absolutely still there lol. you can see it and feel it pretty clearly when touching the screen, but it's honestly not that bad. -one thing I absolutely LOVED is how extremely silky smooth the inner display feels. (unlike z fold 8) -it also barely picks up any fingerprint smudges compared to Samsung’s inner display, which is a very imp thing imo. -brightness was never an issue for me. it’s good. -the bezels are also really thin, especially when you put it next to the Fold 8. Software & UI -the software felt INSANELY snappy. app openings, touch response, pretty much EVERYTHING felt ridiculously fast and smooth. somehow felt even snappier than the iPhone 18 Pro Max 🫪 -couldn’t test third-party apps since they weren’t available on the demo unit. -the folding/unfolding animation looks really nice when it works, but it’s still pretty buggy. quite a few times the outer display simply turned off instead of playing the animation. -multitasking is nice but , I REALLY really wish this thing had an iPad-style dock. -didn’t encounter many major bugs, but some buttons occasionally wouldn’t respond and there were a few small visual stutters here and there. Cameras -the inner under-display camera is honestly TERRIBLE 😭 -the outer camera is okayish, but whatever, you can just use the main cameras for selfies anyway. -you also get manual camera controls. -nothing else particularly stood out to me here. Usability -had absolutely no issues using it one-handed. maybe because I have pretty long hands lol, might be different for others. -using it unfolded is just SO cute. My thoughts the two things that impressed me the MOST were the snappiness and that silky smooth inner display. didn't expect them to feel THIS good. -its very heavy too😭 -the Camera control kept activating randomly for NO reason and it happened so many times 😭 -the under display cam is also visible once you finally see it. (not an issue and its moslty even more visble coz of that cutout on the nano texture film) also the hinge felt a bit TOO tight for my liking. idk maybe that’s just me. these are my impressions after spending an hour with a store demo unit, not a review.

congratulations ❤️❤️

there was absolutely NO reason to remove it😔

Samsung dropping this while Apple is dealing with all those iPhone Duo complaints is actually DIABOLICAL 😭

iOS 27 vs. iOS 18 app opening animations. absolutely LOVE how the 2 year old one completely MOGS the newer one 😍 xitter.cf/enough_yt/status/21012…

the iPhone Duo launch went from exciting to concerning REAL quick💀

😽
