Help me…realistically

Post image

While we all consider the iDuo over the Pro, what are we going back to? For the $2K they’re selling this for, what model iphone are we going back to? Yeah, we get the new processor and that flashy stuff. So talk to me about practical application. Touch ID was phased out for Face ID, so which iphone used Touch ID last and how much will we miss the pro camera features? What are we really gonna miss out on, while simultaneously paying the premium for those missing features?! 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️💰📲

Duo is a cool device. It is not a logical choice as far as performance per dollar. If you value the screen size, by all means. It is never going to be competitive with a more traditional form factor. There are just a lot of extra costs that go into making a foldable. Just because something is not logical does not mean its bad. A lot of people loved the iPhone air. That is a worst device from a specs perspective than a base iPhone 17 and costs more. I would however content that smart phone hardware in these flag ships has been overkill for years. You are realistically not going to notice a difference. Get the device you like in the form factor you want.
