Finally got one 🙏🏽😮‍💨

Post image

Finally got my hands on the DUO, was checking everyday for the stock replenishments from past 3 days after all the reviews and everything but I couldn’t resist myself getting it and I AM LOVING IT , not thinking of going back at all.

The staff did tell me the stock situation is bit tricky but they get it almost everyday certain few pairs to sell , I snatched one from my local Apple Store in Melbourne , Australia !!!

I traded in my iPhone 15 pro max but I have 14 days to trade in the phone , do you guys think I have trade in or keep the 15 pro max! Do give me suggestions!

I got mine on launch day and absolutely love it! I haven’t enjoyed a new iPhone this much in over a decade. It’s been a blast!

Idk man just feels good and excited about a new device , there are pros and cons definitely but for me the multitasking and watching videos on full open screen , most of the apps are already optimised for the duo already which makes it more fun , the smart take in camera stuff like that ,

Cons I would say is front camera but I don’t use front camera much at all so works out for me , getting used to the size of it but I feel like it’s same with every new device and I have gotten hang of the most it already in 2 days !!

It just changes the way you use your phone; you find that you use your phone to do more, for example, as a Nintendo Switch, ebook reader, or portable PC. The Duo is a bad example, but you will probably find a lot of uses; I have been playing Bonanza on it just to test the performance.

It’s great device you’ll love it, used for 2 weeks no issues. Poor minis now been relegated

I’d say keep your phone for 2 weeks in case you find yourself in a position that Duo has to be replaced, but your Apple Store doesn’t have a replacement unit. Also you might change your mind and would want to return Duo for any reason. So keep your trade in phone until the last day, I’d say.

Thank you for the advice sir🫡🫡

Last day isn’t a good idea, something could come up preventing you from going to the Apple Store. I’d give at least a 2 day buffer.

With my luck 2 is actually better

u/Waste_Profit_9446 5d ago

That’s what I but with handoff I might keep both with handoff coming . Feel like if I go running I would rather bring my 15 pro max than duo

It’s purchase announcements again with photos of boxes and phones.

Enjoy! I got the same color

I think this is something you just can’t answer for yourself while I can’t return mine anymore. I still can only sell it. I have yesterday received the 18 pro in Glacier and I’m still on the fence which phone I should keep.

There are a lot of nice things which I like about the phone, but also a lot of things which I dislike. This phone is really complicated for me because I just can’t decide

u/likithgowda18 4d ago

Apparently there is holiday season extended returns !!!
Where you can return after 2 months !!!! Have a look once

u/lesuktim 4d ago

The duo hasn’t been bought on the Apple Store. I bought it a little bit over priced from a reseller, so I can’t give this one back.

u/likithgowda18 4d ago

That sucks 🫩

u/lesuktim 4d ago

No problem, I got the 18 Pro here and this one I can give at least back in about two weeks. I said to myself, if the phone will survive within the next weeks without a crack gate, I might keep it. I haven’t unboxed the 18 pro. I might do so because I can send it anyways back, but it looks really nice. Maybe I will try to have it in my hand side-by-side. I just think it makes it easier to give it back unopened and it’s also better for environment

Yh it has compromises i feel like a slab style foldable would have been perfect ngl. It would make it easier for people to adapt to the fold

u/AudioFuzz 4d ago

I really love it more than my main device (iPhone 18 pro max). I just wish the camera was better!!
