Apple didn't need a foldable phone. And a terrible foldable phone should have been the last thing as your launch product! Even so, Apple will do just fine as long as it keeps selling overpriced products and people buying them.

I'm not too sure what is going on with PhoneArena, but the clickbait and the over-exaggeration of every point these writers are making just seems so over the top now. I would love to read a clear, well-reasoned piece that focuses on arguments rather than dramatic rhetorical flourishes and emotional appeals. Raise your game folks.

I'm so glad I skipped the Duo, and kept my Z Fold 7. $2000 for a 256 gig phone with no Face ID, no action button, no third camera, 2 crap cameras, and its got a major design flaw cracking the screen. Nahhh, I'm good.

Apple had 7 years to work out the Duo 1 and here we are. They literally delivered a device with first gen foldable issues, they're charging top dollar for the experience and the CEO had the audacity to call all previous foldables "kind of cheap and crappy". It's called AA (Apple Arrogance) and like the Vision Pro, it's a disaster! I bet Apple didn't even look at the ways their competitors solved all the foldable issues thus far. It's a laugh, and chef's kiss would be a recall lol

Shows the solution...made by Microsoft. It's called the Surface Duo. How would I improve this? Simply make the bezel very thin in the middle where the hinge is so it's not even noticeable in tablet mode, and you got the grown-up version of the Nintendo DS with the Apple Pencil Pro Mini, the size of a pocket pen that NASA made in the 1960s for the Apollo program designed for this folable, or a dual-screen flip phone, as the other part would be like the light phone being only talk and text and QR scan enabled alone, and have a special locking hinge on the flip Duo-screen iPhone Duo to unfold here to use as an iPad Mini, so then you'd 'ditch the iPad Mini' too. As the iPad can already do multi-screens, and to do an expanded dual-screen foldable phone is more than manageable here and has no more issues with the hinge, as you would have 2 separate screens that can expand when you unfold the phone into iPad mode here and the foldable screen is replaced with this instead to avoid what Samsung went through here, as the iPad OS and iOS do not have the same software issues. Android OS has with dual screens for apps here. Again, missed opportunity here.

I would cancel this product and issue a recall on it and do what MS did with the Xbox 360 and pay for this repair out of pocket to keep people here in the Apple ecosystem and make Apple redesign the iPhone Duo into what the MS Surface Duo was here. Also, I would design a compact Apple Pencil Pro, the size of the NASA 1960s Apollo pen, here to use with this dual-screen foldable here, including it FOR FREE, and a charger included too to win back lost consumers here. But i'm no apple cerifed genius so what do i know right guys?!
