iPhone Duo

unleashes unparallel, unrivaled, totally new, amazing, exciting new ways of interacting with the MOST POW3RFUL!!!!!

then all the photos either what's on the inside it's repeated whats on the outside,

or... and hold your breath... you can show on one side the calendar and on the other side the clock... now you can breath...

Meh, another 2 or 3$k gadget that does the same as the previous one?

if only it ran linux

$2,000 for a fucking phone. We really have collectively lost the plot.

cool. now can we please get a 32 inch iMac next?

Am I the only one not interested in a folding phone?

Honestly not even touching on what the thing actually costs on its own, I don’t like the idea of signaling to people so clearly that I had 2k +tax to spend on a cell phone

I’m not always in the best areas so this def comes up for me personally

Outside of that I think I’d give this a shot

"Short everything this guy has ever touched ..."

$2000 are they serious?

“The largest iPhone display ever”

Gosh I hate that idiotic marketing.

This would have been quite impressive just 5 years ago.

$2000 and they can’t give you the full display? What stupid design document from 1985 says people want the corners of their screen cut off?

2300Euros in Germany. That’s a hard pass.

Lol $2K. Fuck that.

shit, I'd take this form factor but with a physical keyboard.

Can Apple do anything original?

I feel bad for iOS developers... Good luck supporting yet another format for your apps

>"breakthrough foldable design" - and what exact part of it is "breakthrough"? Do they have "invisible fold"?

It looks meh. Seems like Apple is following, no longer leading. Samsung feels more polished.

I'm really happy about this new form factor. Things were becoming too conformist where everyone needed to adopt the lowest common denominator in order to fit in. It seemed like anything different was met with significantly more skepticism than curiosity. I embrace informed skepticism but most of it is ignorant. I think people will still be skeptical about the foldable iPhone but mainly out of ignorance of this form factor.

This phone will suck for the concern trolls who are best described as deeply conservative but will try their best pointing out concerns while masquerading as whatever will convince people.

Another status symbol has been created.

But once again as I said before [0][1], don't buy the first version of an Apple product.

So brave of Apple to make the world's first foldable phone

Interesting, but of no use as I can't replace its OS.

I suspect I would get greater value by simply duct-taping two iPhones together into a fold.

Go Apple, bring up the rear!

Can they even do anything new?

Looks like an Android. Couldn't frame it like the iconic notch / dynamic island. Not immediately recognizable. Arrived too late.

why is Apple releasing new products when Siri is falling so short compared to the industry. Make Siri amazing would improve every apple product immensely.

I’ll not buy a new iPhone until they release a new mini. No, this duo is not worth it.

This will be another flop just like the iPhone Air. $2000 is f**ing crazy. A MacBook Pro is the same price haha. The storage is also shit 256gb??

Ugh; folding screens are so failure prone these things just exacerbate e-waste problems

Would rather ditch my phone size thing and be able to pair a cellular Watch to iPad Mini size thing that also has "50% more screen" than iPhone Max

Gen AI could take telemetry like GPS from Watch and recreate most adventures without need of all the pictures; I don't care if every little thing like a day hike is captured "for real"

Would still hire a photographer for actual meaningful moments like weddings and graduations

Worse in most ways than every other iPhone, more expensive, gets permanently (sometimes deathly) damaged by fingernails, keys, sand, plastic and literally anything that's harder than about a fingernail. All the supposedly unique usecases can be resolved by a $1 kickstand, a $50 speaker, or a $500 iPad plus a non-foldable phone. You can get a whole MacBook too. So, no thanks.

This is neat but feels like an uninspired shot in the dark. Apple’s been turning from industry leading to people pleasing in recent years. Not that its a bad thing entirely, but something is lost.
