I agree that Face ID would be a great addition to the iPhone Duo, but the first generation is still solid overall. I am confident that Apple will improve the camera system and address these hardware gaps in the next iteration, much like they did with the iPhone Air 2. Regardless, the Duo outperforms the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in almost every way—Marques Brownlee’s review really confirmed that for me.

"Even popular creators like MKBHD and Nothing CEO Carl Pei consider the unavailability of facial recognition technology one of the biggest trade-offs of the iPhone Duo in comparison to other foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 8."


I’m curious to see what excuses will be given for omitting Face ID and basic face unlock on the iPhone Duo, and for the laggy fingerprint unlocking (hey but it has good animations... lol). It’s hard to justify that decision when competing devices manage to include these features while remaining slimmer and still featuring a physical SIM card tray. FACTS are FACTS.

As I've said from day one, they took out these things so they can add them back in future iterations as "NEW" features.

Didn't they already fix this with their folio case? Just cover the outside screen so it's unusable. Problem solved...

Now that they explained it further as a sizing omission it makes some sense. Touch ID will still work with the paying mechanisms so all is fair in love and basketball. My big rant initially was for partners sleeping next to each other as touch id doesn't require you awake does it?
