People in the comments said I purposely made the iPhone Duo look bad cause "its meant to be looked at straight on" ... so here's another comparison of me looking at it straight on. Obviously not AS bad, but it does make the OLED look like an LCD.
Some might not care, others might. Especially when $2000 is the minimum. Personally, whatever. I still like this phone.
YouTube got updated for Duo! Not bad, but still wish that massive black bar up top was gone. Some apps utilize that entire space, like Facebook for example.
The Duo (literally and figuratively)
iPhone handoff works so well! Lift the phone you want the eSIM transfered to. That's it. Pretty neat.
iPhone Duo: My thoughts so far. The good, and bad.
✅ Very well made. Tough. IP68 is nice to have.
✅ Battery life is incredible. Didn’t expect this.
✅ Hinge is super smooth. Opening and closing the phone feels steady and secure.
✅ performance and efficiency are great
✅ charging speeds are nice. Didn’t measure but feels fast to the point where I don’t notice.
✅ speakers and the placement are fantastic.
✅ Comfy to hold
✅ I love the software for the hinge (see photos)
🚫 Display looks great in terms of cutting out reflections, but colors and contrast suffers a lot.
🚫 Not all apps are optimized (yet). Those that are still look a bit wonky. Not Apples fault. Devs need to tweak it more.
🚫Cameras are okay. Nothing special but they get the job done. Don’t expect great results after 3x zoom.
🚫Heaviest passport style foldable in 2026. 254g without a case and without a screen protector. Over 300g with. Some care. Some don’t.
🚫 Small learning curve. Not a fan of the volume keys being on top and the dock being on the right.
🚫 No action button. Some may not like this.
Overall, not a bad phone. I like it a lot, despite its downsides. But at $2000 there should be less of them imo.
lmao alright, so people really weren't kidding. The iPhone Duo really is hard to see in direct sunlight...
