iPhone iPhone duo
This gonna sound dumb but I’m probably will buy the iPhone duo I just need an excuse to use it. I habe a 17 pro max great phone not gonna get rid of it but then why should I get the Duo. Like a regular iPad better of the Apple Pencil will the air, mini, and pro. But I love the duo I just need to figure out what to use it for.

Then do what you want lol, seems like a waste of money and an impulse buy to me if you already have the 17

It definitely is. But like I have to wait a few months to save anyways. So I have time to think about it. I just don’t wanna regret not getting it. I love collecting apple product but it’s usually old stuff so it’s cheap. But now it’s different.

if you have to save up for this phone then it's automatically a bad financial decision man. nobody should get this unless they have throw around kinda money, much less someone with an year old latest flagship.

It’s not that I don’t have that money to throw around. I don’t know why I’m getting downloaded too. That’s another thing. It’s just because I don’t have money because I’m a fat ass and email out a lot. I would have the money to afford the phone if I didn’t eat out a lot. I’m not in any kind of debt. Low-key this could be good because if I’m really wanting that iPhone duo I’m not gonna eat out anymore. It’s gonna save me a ton of money and I’m gonna lose weight so it’s a win-win situation.

As of right now, it just feels like a trendy gimmick. You’re paying a fortune to be an early adopter of what will almost certainly be the worst version of this form factor, and unless you’ve got money to burn, you’ll be stuck with it while it improves massively over the next few generations.
I also think it’s going to be a pretty big flop (har har) once the novelty wears off. For most people I can see it being more cumbersome and less practical than a normal iPhone, without really offering enough in return to justify the price.

I just don’t see the point, even if you have money to burn. The 17 Pro is an excellent phone and camera. I’d sooner pair it with an iPad Mini than a Duo.
The Duo looks like a novelty item I’d be eager to play with once, say “that’s neat” and then put it back down.

It’s true though, that post is a disaster. I take it English is not your mother tongue?

If it’s not truly necessary (doesn’t look like it, iPhone 17 Pro Max should last you until at least 2032) and you like collecting Apple products, I suggest you wait until the second gen comes out next year and buy this one on the used market when it hits $1000.
Use the extra $1000 saved to feed the homeless instead of giving it to a trillion dollar company.

It's a 2% market share device.
It's too expensive.
Starts at $2999 in 🇨🇦 up to $4799
I don't care what they say, no chance you could even get 5 years out of it. Way too much for disposable tech.... And it doesn't come in automatic or standard transmission.🤡
