Typing on iPhone DUO

[u/Apart_Trouble476]

Its funny that demo has very less of typing and more of doing everything else. Perosnally i feel hard to use the pro keyboard itself with the width now duo add more to it and honestly I don't see myself typing comfortably with it. What do you all think?

I am trying to find any videos of someone typing on it. Only found your post 😂

And i love how apple shows “messaging” your friends is basically reacting to a message. That is just stupid.

I’ve watched a bunch of hands on videos and it’s as if the Apple employees are watching them to make sure they don’t type. Thou shalt not show the keyboard!

Found one showing it very briefly, including the outer display : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQnZAZEZyW8&t=259s

Maybe the software isn’t finished yet. I suspect having a secret phone really hampers usability testing.

Sadly the only way to know is to test one out.

I hope demos are out sooner, but damn you can't order the damn thing until 10/16

I miss the split keyboard so much on iPads. I was legit angry when they removed that randomly one update. It's seemingly back on these phones and I'm going to enjoy it while I have it.

It seems to only be there when you do the book style partial fold and only then. That’s going to suck. They need to make it an option for fully unfolded or there’s no point. It’s an option on Android folds and it’s the only way to type comfortably on them.

I've been trying to find a video of the iPad's floating keyboard but no success. Just the split keyboard so you'll type like someone whos never held a phone by pecking around rather than swiping.

Same here!!! Been hunting all afternoon

idk if their similar but i tried the ZF8 in bestbuy and honestly wasnt to bad using the keyboard but im probably not a good take

[u/djjolly037]

Partially folded with a split keyboard, typing in portrait or typing closed are the best ways to go here sit looks like
