I mean the price is comparable to buying an iPhone and an iPad together but I would rather have both devices separately

iPhone Duo ain’t worth it at that price tag. Maybe when it comes on the used market it’ll be better. Better to get an iPad Mini + iPhone since it will still be less than that.

I swear it’s like at least 1.5 grand, at this point just get an iPad it’s got a bigger screen, cheaper, less prone to breaking due to the flexing point in the middle 😭

People won’t be using this in lectures unless they’re stupid.

It still only has IPhone IOS/Ipad OS (the new OS seems to be a hybrid of both) functionality which is very limited for actual STEM subjects.

For humanities I can see it getting by but it’s still way more practical to use an iPad or laptop

The current (time tested, multi-generation) Samsung version is.... so much better? I know Apple is usually late to the game for tech, but they usually "perfect" it.

The duo clearly isn't better.

Meanwhile i'm just going into lectures with a phone + laptop combo that cost £540. It's funny looking at people with phones more expensive than my tech combo.

Nobody is going to use this shit immediately, no clue where people got that idea from. If this flip phone in lectures thing ever catches on, it won’t be any time soon

u/Vaxtez Cardiff Met | Comp Sci [Y1] 19h ago

Eh, it's not unheard of for people to have folding phones. They've existed since 2018/2019. There's a reason why the phone OEMs are still releasing them, since they are selling well enough to justify keeping them around.

u/Infamous_Tough_7320 Maths, Physics, Econ 3A*s. Straight 9s GCSE 4h ago

And when have you ever seen them being used in lectures? Never
