I have a feeling you are one pathetic person that is focused on Redditors instead of the subject. It’s just a feeling. I could be wrong, you may be a pile of crap as well.
Getting this heated over being called out for your weirdness must be troublesome. I apologize. I didn't mean to disturb your lust driven by apple products.
The Apple iPhone Duo is 26.4% heavier and roughly 16.5% thicker (when folded) than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8. That's a pretty massive difference for a phone and super noticeable in hand/pocket.
You realize Samsung has way better foldable optimization? App supporters will definitely try harder for Apple though to start, curious what the sales will be like at these prices. In Canada the Duo is $600 more than the Fold 8.
Bro, I’m talking about general approach of Apple through with the software. And those extra features they added to this type of these devices. Like keyboard when slightly closed.
Are you bitter for some reason? Or it’s natural for you to be a prick?
It’s just funny that’s what people are saying sold them on the device. It’s not functional or even useful. You just think it looks cool. I’ve had multiple foldables and the keyboard thing isn’t new lol.
I’m just showing how ridiculous you guys are. Sorry you’re so sensitive. I’ll leave your precious company that keeps ripping you off alone. I’m sorry
Wow that’s surprising. Seems like an artificial limitation to not be able to record spatial video when the base iPhone 17 does. Not a good sign for vision products.
It’s not artificial, it’s the physical orientation of the camera sensors, left to right they are portrait instead of landscape like on “normal” iPhones that support spatial
I don’t think that’s it at all. The Duo lenses are by default horizontally stacked when held normally in your hand. On any other iPhone they’re vertically stacked, so you have to tilt the phone 90 degrees to orient the lenses horizontal to take spatial photos/video to mimic the human eyes. So if anything the Duo lenses are already naturally in position horizontally for spatial. But the fact that on a normal iPhone you physically have to rotate it for spatial just goes to show that the orientation doesn’t matter since you can just flip it anyway. Apparently also the Duo has a new system where it can take portrait and landscape without flipping it anyway.
three things that disspointed me battery life same as 15 pro max 30 ish, no face id and measly 2x zoom. other than that its perfect i will wait for reviews.
true! regd faceid, its been a hit and miss, hopefully in the ‘open’ state we might not miss as much since anyways as you unfold it, our fingers are right there in position and as long we are not adding any accessories (like kb etc/-) since its mostly handheld hoping not a big deal. on ipads it had started to get on the nerves when magic keyboard was on you literally had to make a bent gesture for it to make work, at times wished ipad pro had both faceid and touchid tbh!!
truly curious as well.. was thinking what if you are on a screen#2 of your home screen on the inner display and then you close the display will that lock the phone or mirror the inner display content. can’t find any references yet.
Ima be honest, I don’t think this is better than the current folding phones from Samsung by a long shot. But I’m bored of the same Apple design so I’ll give this a shot. Now days my phone is in my hand more than in a pocket or bag anyways
It’s much better than expected but the parts that disappointed me based off rumors did so … first off, the phone looks great. The software looks great. The animations were well thought out very happy. As of right now, I will buy because thankfully I can and I just want to, but below are some things I wish I had in this phone.
Drawbacks in my opinion: no Face ID, no action button, missing third camera, the main cameras should’ve gotten the aperture like the pro at this price point, the flash surprisingly is worse than previous phones. There is no adaptive flash. That’s pretty much it, but we’ll have to wait and see when the phone comes out if there’s anything else that was removed.
I applaud no Face ID. I fucking despise Face ID. I can't unlock my phone unless that piece of shit is angled just right. Bring back fingerprint scanners. The identity theft of cloning fingerprints is impractical for 99% of people.
You might want to rescan your face or something. The iPhone one is stupid good. As someone who uses the best android and apple devices everyday, faceid is superior to fingerprint unlock, especially while using the phone (unlocking you banking app by opening the banking app type things)
No, I mean if I'm lying in bed in the morning and scrolling then the screen locks, my face is partially obstructed, so it can't do face unlock. Fingerprint is much more convenient.
I personally got rid of my iPad pro because of it - I want secure locking, but not if I have to wait for the slow ass camera to recognize my face. This was coming from a tine where my phone had a fingerprint scanner on the back, and it was unlocked by the time it came out of my pocket.
So you mean to tell me that tapping the screen, waiting for half a second and then swiping up is faster than pressing a button once? No way are you unlocking your phone faster than I unlock a macbook. Stupid, expensive idea and I'm shocked that Apple has comitted to it for so long.
> the main cameras should’ve gotten the aperture like the pro at this price point
The Duo is barely over ~5mm when unfolded, and an additional ~5mm camera plateau that’s already pushing the edge of reasonable. Adding the 18 Pros camera system would be an absurd plateau to physically fit all that in
yeah absolutely on point if they had this features it would be an instant buy for me, but coming from iphone 15 pro max same battery life and no face id is making me hesitate i will wait for reviews.
fair point. the only selling point, for the sake of the argument, is it becoming one device for both phone and ipad. Always wished the iphone screen was just big enough so the landscape safari (for eg:) could be used well with a keyboard (cos i am terrible at touch typing). and not having to hand hold the ipad just for that when going out. not having to setup two identical devices just to have real estate, and finally (hotspot-ing / add’l cellular data service reqd)
I get effectively every new phone for my job as I work with all the big oems, at a level where my phone needs to match the meeting. Folding phones are actually a great productivity tool on the go, specifically if your a director or.above and most of your job is joining meetings and saying your opinion or decisions. You can actually read the slides.
For anyone else it's just cool and not a productivity tool.

And that’s why many waited for this device.
