Apple's folding iPhone Duo draws global queues on launch day

thestar.com.my —

Apple's first folding iPhone, the iPhone Duo, went on sale in stores on Friday, drawing queues of fans and customers from Singapore and Shanghai to London and Berlin. Early reviews praised the Duo's design and barely visible hinge but flagged camera compromises, unadapted apps, and reduced handiness for quick tasks when folded. Customers cited the device's thinness, satisfying fold, and potential to replace tablets. Some buyers noted high prices and missing EU software features, while others expressed hope Apple's entry will make foldables mainstream. Limited stock drove urgency, with one London customer queuing overnight in rain.
