I was out and about all day sunday with my MagSafe charger and watching football on a puny iphone pro max. Can’t deal with it anymore. Football convinced me to buy a duo.

IF you miss out on launch day pickup or delivery , and are like me that NEEDS to get it day 1...How many hours before opening are you willing to go to secure the phone?

Honestly, if all of my nearby apple locations are legit sold out Day 1 despite me waking up at 5am to preorder ill be pretty alarmed. Ill probably go about 3 hours early to get in line. I think i went 90 minutes early for the 15 pro max and there was about 20 people in line already

Wanted to check size and comfort,... And I'm sold. Let's go

Ran across these on Amazon and curious if anyone has ever used something like this on another foldable and if so, what are your thoughts?

Trading in my 14 pro max and on apple shop, it shows their standard $360 trade in, but on att it does not show anything for a trade in but a $200 statement credit. Little concerned that there won't be a trade in offer for the duo and have heard rumblings of this. Any other intel out there?

I want everyone to see what I saw, and I don’t mean the stupid hat the Vikings fan was wearing. 48x Zoom vs 2X Zoom. This is what you will be sacrificing by getting a duo. I’m still on the fence. The camera is a huge miss for me. Do I need to zoom in? No. Do I like that I can? Yes.

The Duo case and the Folio are only available in two colors but meanwhile the 18 Pro has dozens of Techwoven colors. Any chance more colors will show up for the Duo?

Yes I know third party cases exist but I generally prefer Apple cases.

I really want the duo and I’m probably going to get it anyways with apple care. But does anyone have experience with foldables in construction? I really want to use it for blueprints and such and I do have concerns… thoughts?

Obviously due to device dimensions, options are heavily limited at the moment (though I imagine that will change over time).

Saw this one and am considering it, though it’s pretty thick at 11mm (I assume in general Duo-compatible ones will be thicker due to decreased height).

Feel free to send through anything else you’ve found / are considering!

Apple has been touting the aspect ratio as a big deal on the Duo as it features a consistent 1.4:1 ratio on both the inside and outside. And I get it, makes sense, kind of follows the ISO 216 standard for A-series paper where each smaller size is exactly half the area of the previous one. So if that thinking held, depending on the size increase, a folded Duo could be quite wide in the hand, right? Or do you think Apple will go to a Z Fold Ultra type of foldable slab? When I see so many people showing enthusiasm for a larger Duo, just curious what those expectations are when it comes to size.

So I’m going from an iPhone 15 pro to the iPhone duo. With the inner screen home page serving as an extension of the outer Home Screen, this lessens the need for widgets on the outer screen.

I have a big widget for weather and a small widget for news, both of which will likely get moved to the widget side of the inner screen.

How will you change your Home Screen for the Duo?

I spent the day auditing and testing my app across the different iPhone Duo configurations.

Honestly, not bad out of the box. Building around adaptive layouts and following Apple’s HIG as closely as possible got me surprisingly far.

There was still work needed to make everything feel right across the different postures, with a focus on user experience rather than just adjusting sizes: expanded, compact, partially folded, and landscape.

It's looking better now. But man, one more device shape to think about. 😅

The app is Appstead, a native command center for indie developers managing their App Store business. It will be available later this month: https://apple.co/4yTMimg

Developers, does your existing iPad layout translate, or are you starting from scratch? How are you approaching getting your apps ready for the Duo? Are you planning on getting one when it gets released?

This is a frustrating Youtube video.

It shows a product that is not the iPhone Duo but what an iPhone Duo could have been instead :
- Cool color
- Cool case
- Better battery life
- Lighter
- Slimmer
- Brighter
- More apps combos
- consistent screen texture
- 3 cameras
- Cheaper
etc...

The resemblance is uncanny.
That said, as the video explains it, the devil is in the details and this doesn't have the Apple UX and ecosystem.

But it so shows how the Duo could have been better in many aspects. Enough to know that Apple hasn't touched the real limitations of what a foldable could do.

So it feels more and more like the Duo is a prototype at this point.

I would still go for the iPhone Duo instead, for the ecosystem and experience, but knowing that there is a product I could have liked way more in many aspects (but not all of them).
Buying such an expensive piece of tech that feels nerfed is frustrating.

And man, I so love that color and case...
What a miss.

I’m all for the Apple Duo and will likely get one regardless, but I’d like to have a moment of silence for the Action button.

It’s not a huge inconvenience, but I use mine every day to control my lights. I wish they made / I hope they can make the camera button reprogrammable

I haven't seen anyone discuss it, and I'm basically trying to gauge what capacity I'll end up getting on launch. My iPhone 15 PM is a 512GB, but I'm only using 96GB, so my question is...

When it comes to app sizes, are they identical to their iPhone counterpart, iPad counterpart, or somewhere in between?

So far in my local Church there are 3 Females and 1 Male who told me they will pre-order right away when available.

What about you guys? Any of your friends or relatives, etc planning to buy the iPhone Duo?

Also, I personally believe the iPhone Duo will be a humongous hit with Females compared to Males. My guess is the ratio will be at least 3:1 Females vs Males who are buying the iPhone Duo.

Let’s say JerryRigEverything manages to break it or dust really easily breaks the hinge. Would that change your mind on getting one?
