independent.co.uk

Apple's newly released iPhone Duo, a foldable smartphone, impressed in first impressions despite initial skepticism about the concept. The device's satisfying hinge and seamless folding experience quickly made the design feel natural and desirable. The phone's robust hinge allows effortless opening and closing with a magnetic snap, while the unfolded screen shows no visible crease. Software integration is seamless, with apps redesigned for the larger display and the device adapting to various positions like tent or laptop modes. Priced at $1,999, the iPhone Duo's long-term value remains uncertain, as brief hands-on time can't determine if the extra screen space justifies the cost. However, the initial experience was overwhelmingly positive, leaving the reviewer wanting one.
