  I've had two folding phones and I am not going back until the issues are resolved. Here were my problems:1. After a while, I think dust would inevitably get in the hinges and wouldn't fold flat. I've seen demos in stores of newer gen Samsung foldable phones and it looks like those wouldn't fold flat2. The inner screen protector eventually lifted…

  The new foldable iPhone Duo is sick. No seam. Ultra thin. My take: They're going to sell more than I thought before seeing it. I was thinking it would account for 5% of iPhone revenue in FY27. Now I think likely going to be 10%. The issue is the price. We don't have it yet, but it will be $2k p...

  Is there a use case for this that cannot be filled by a cheaoer tablet?

  The aspect ratio is the biggest problem with foldables.The main reason I'd want a bigger display is for more immersive content like videos, which are typically 16:9. On a Pixel Fold, you have all the added complexity of the fold to make the videos you watch on the train 1cm taller.The iPhone Duo unfolds to be the same height as the iPhone Pro Max…

  Hands-on with the iPhone Duo: the folding mechanism is smooth, the crease is almost impossible to find with a finger, and the inner screen has a matte finish (The Verge) https://www. theverge.com/tech/991236/iphon e-foldable-hands-on-first-impressions http://www. techmeme.com/260909/p37#a26090 9p37

  It's so close to the "her" wallet thing that the main character pulls out to look at photos.It's just too big, and too metal.The form factor is good. I hope things move this direction.More broadly, it's interesting that the movie has a beautiful future aesthetic that influenced tech most in the recent years. The muted colors with natural materials…

  The iPhone Duo software is, unsurprisingly, the best implementation of software on a foldable and obviously won't know until I use it, but nothing seems even close to matching this and I don't know if it's possible for anything to match it

  $2K starting price is rough. I’ve upgraded my iPhone every year since my first phone, the 3GS. It’s one of a few “splurge”-type things I allow myself. It’s a hobby and just fun to play with the new hotness. This year might break the cycle.I don’t care for the 18 Pro colors, I still love my orange 17 Pro, and I’m not sold on the Duo (functionality…

  Apple going to sell all the iPhone Duos they can make. Will be supply chain limited but in 2026 we think they easily get 20-25% of the foldable market in 2026 and increasing to 35-40% in 2027. Again, only limited by how many they can make.

  I really hope that in the coming years we will be able to get smaller phones back into the market. Apple compared this to the size of a passport. That seems even bigger than a normal iPhone, even when folded. A number of people (especially women with smaller hands) I know are holding onto their iPhone Minis for as long as possible. I’d love a…

  The crowd is ooing and awing over the software execution of iOS on iPhone Duo. The hardware will be competitive with other foldables but the software is where the Apple experience will be differentiated.

  Why do they insist on every new phone being bigger than the phones before them?I don't mind folding. I think it's cool, and a nice way to get a useful space. But I have big hands, and I can't use my iphone 17 now without two hands. This is even wider before unfolding.Who wants bigger phones? Who is like, "damn I wish I had a tablet that I could…

  Because for a lot (most?) people their iPhone is their primary and only personal computer. I also want a smaller phone. I bet Apple designers would love to sell you a smaller phone. They've certainly tried with my beloved and retired iPhone mini and the same size but thinner iPhone air. But the market keeps rejecting it because it's not just a…

  iPhone Duo is ESIM only worldwide to maximize battery. The split batteries should get “31 hours of video playback on inner display and 44 hours from the outer display”
