Apple iPhone Duo

“the extremely low odds of buying a defective one, that has full support from Apple to replace it at no cost”

“I'm keeping mine - its great! Love the short outer screen, the inner screen is nice and large”

“The majority of reports of people reporting issues with their Duo are due to the early defects found in the phone”

“Is that worth $2,000 plus $200/year for AppleCare so you don't get caught paying for a $1,000 screen replacement?”

“the screen cracking within two weeks or normal use illustrates a complete lack of quality control at Apple”

“The iPhone Duo is as close as we're getting to the iPad Mini Pro we've all been asking for.”

“it is in fact a foldable iPad mini. An iPad Mini you can comfortably fit in your pocket”

“I need work-personal separation thus two devices, but it is a little much with two foldables.”

“I don't love that this is necessary, and I wonder how much it will cost without an AppleCare subscription.”

“The iPhone Duo seems to indicate that Apple still don't actually believe that left handed people exists.”

“I'm super excited to see them evolved and shipped in a product that I think a lot of people are going to love.”

“the chance that the apps I use are not well optimized for this new form factor is pretty high”

“This shows how Apple actually thought through the issue instead of just doing the most obvious thing.”

“Looks cool, but as a web developer all I can think about is another screen layout I have to support.”

“They 100% would not put out a product that starts having obvious lines down the center of it”

“Don't expect this to sell well - too big for trouser pockets and not enough advantages to the form factor”

“Apple tends to let others release new tech while they tend to be more conservative until they've polished it.”

“It's quite a lot wider and thicker than a mini, and imho looks quite ugly when folded, I don't see the appeal as a single-handed device.”

“I would almost buy one of these even at such a ridiculous price if I could get it with all the AI features permanently disabled.”

“I am cautiously optimistic, especially for people who need both a phone and a tablet in the same device”

“This is really nice for people who read books and want to ditch carrying around a mini tablet or e-reader”

“I don’t like the idea of signaling to people so clearly that I had 2k +tax to spend on a cell phone”

“If you unfold and have two apps side-by-side, then the aspect ratio (and seemingly size?) is the same as having one app, closed.”

“They show the most basic example right on the page, which is that you can side-by-side full screen apps.”

“new UI really makes it unusable: dock and buttons are at the right side instead of being at the bottom.”

“the ability to have a larger browser screen on landscape or having two apps side by side is already good on its own”

“I'll definitely give it a year or two for other people to discover any durability problems before committing”

“2,000 for the cutting edge version is frankly reasonable for what a phone provides in this day and age”

“They intentionally waited for other companies to work out the details and now their device gets to compete with the developed offerings of those companies.”

“It's basically for people who want an iPhone and iPad, but in a device that's worse than both, while being more expensive than just buying one of each.”

“I'd be able to stop carrying my laptop around and just monitor/respond to things via SSH from my phone.”

“Your phone does not offer more screen area on demand. That is genuinely useful for many people.”

“Buying this immediately and getting rid of my laptop, going full AI native to do all my work.”

“shoving a $2000 device the size of a thick passport into my pocket on a daily basis feels like a bad idea”

“The under-screen camera has failed in previous devices, especially for zoom calls, it was abysmal.”

“The utility of a tablet for media consumption and light productivity with a small footprint is real thing.”

“$2k is a lot to ask, but it answers the market 100% on "I'd like a Samsung Fold 8, but as an iPhone"”

“The experience of using the Milk-V Duo is definitely not as straightforward as the Pi Zero, but it does work”

“still pretty neat for something that comes essentially with a companion MCU and is in the same form factor”

“they have a number of these mini-synths that are in the USD$30 - 50 range that are a ton of fun”
