Watching Microshaft and the "hired" Tech Media fawn over the Surface Duo v1 and v2 attempting to generate traction on a stillborn idea was ... hilarious! Did nobody in a strategy or marketing media ever say "No! People are not going to want to live w a device that has to be opened every single time to look at the time or a notification etc". Was there nobody to say "Hey, we are several generations in on the folding screen revolution. ... Or ... Nobody is going to settle at this point for a two screen device that split in the middle like a windshield in a 1930s automobile with the bar down the middle."
From the first photos of the device, it was obvious that it was DOA! So, from that point, watching the marketing efforts in house and paid outside the house or a lesson in what futility looks like.
They sure did "succeed" with that crease and no zoom camera. It's ok I'm sure many Apple fans are taking out payday loans to get this instead of the slab iPhone. I bet slab iPhone sales get cannibalized by the duo
Good job avoiding my point. Tell me more about the duo's success in lack of physical sim, lack of zoom camera, crappy under screen camera and not best in class crease.
If Apple sells enough to make money on this, to continue to build next versions in the future - its success. And from apples tracks record - it will will be very much so just like other new form factors that Apple ventured into.
This honestly makes me laugh because Apple somehow finds a way to dupe the iSheep EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 😂
I mean, the comedy writes itself. They literally took the name “Surface Duo”—an actual device that was already made by Microsoft—and somehow turned it into something people are acting like Apple just invented. 💀
Like… imagine being so loyal to Apple that you see a familiar concept with a slightly different logo and immediately go, “OMG! REVOLUTIONARY! 🤯”
Meanwhile, Microsoft is sitting in the corner like:
“Uhhh… guys? We already did this.” 😂
At this point Apple could put two iPhones together with a hinge, call it the iDuo, slap a $1,999 price tag on it, and the Apple crowd would be lining up overnight like it’s the second coming of Steve Jobs.
“Look! Two screens!”
Microsoft: “Yeah… we know.” 😭
The funniest part is watching the marketing machine convince everyone that something that already existed is suddenly groundbreaking because Apple put an “i” in front of it.
Apple doesn’t reinvent the wheel.
They just wait until everyone forgets who made the wheel, put a titanium rim on it, call it Wheel Pro Max Ultra, and charge you $799 for the privilege of discovering it. 😂🍎
Wrong and misleading title. Apple literally owns the "Duo" name lineage from the Powerbook line going as far back as 1992. This is them recycling a name they coined first after Microsoft flopped making a stupid product.

“Apple named the iPhone Duo after a six-year-old failed Android experiment”
The line writes itself - Apple succeeds where other fail. Again and again.
They sure did "succeed" with that crease and no zoom camera. It's ok I'm sure many Apple fans are taking out payday loans to get this instead of the slab iPhone. I bet slab iPhone sales get cannibalized by the duo
Always assuming that everybody has an empty bank account like you.
