Discussion - Apple named the iPhone Duo after a six-year-old failed Android experiment

I think if the Microsoft Surface Duo had a camera on the back of it, and a screen on the front of it, it would have done very well. But what do I know?

Btw, not sure if we can put links on here but the surface duo site is still up. That's pretty cool! I also think that is should have been marketed to who would actually use it. I couldn't picture either of those people in the ads actually using it. I get trying to be hip and trendy, but I think this should have shown older people who would A) have the extra income and B) find it useful instead of the cool kids. haha

And for the Galaxy Fold, I STILL wish they would bring back the Original's "Alien" color scheme, the gold and green. Maybe for the 10 year anniversary. That's the one I pre-ordered and they cancelled it.

And FINALLY the apple phone, I think Duo is way better than Ultra. I'm just wondering how many people I will see with these. I was in Miami when the orange phones came out last year, and it was like OVERNIGHT I saw so many people coming to the pool with them. I think the same thing will happen with this. SO MANY PEOPLE are going to buy this phone and so many people are going to brag how it is the best phone on the market (even though arguably I'd say it is the 4th best passport style foldable behind the Pura X Max, Xiaomi 18 Fold, Samsung Z Fold 8, and then this one). But until I use them all I can't guarantee that. I'd love to see all four be compared side by side in an article. 👀

I'll admit that the device is interesting, but I'll wait for JerryRigEverything to do his durability test before considering to get it. In the meantime, I'll take an 18 Pro Max.

So you're going to base consideration of a device you might use on someone who's intent is to destroy it vs real world performance? 🤦🏽

"people expected a $2,500–$3,000 device"

Don't worry, Apple did not take that option away from you. The 2TB is $3,200

His tests show the durability and major flaws. So yes, absolutely. Remember what happened with the Oneplus 10 Pro. 🤷
