Playing catch-up in every metric with the established Chinese models. Fans will make it successful though & welcome the Innovative design (that others already have) & appreciate the Apple-esque high price.

Every point you are making aganist the fold fails though. Those same reason should stop people from buying yet another iPhone too but it doesn't. Every iPhone is the same and yet people still buy them just to get a different color, just to say they have the latest and then they turn around and use their phone the exact same way they used the last iPhone.


What you are missing is that this is the very first iPhone that is truly different. For the first time since its original design, we finally have a iPhone that is unique and functions differently. That's the point you are missing

In the (USA) economy, who really wants to lay down over $2,000.00 for a first generation folding apple phone? Oh, "influencers", people that have to have it so they can shove it into their "friends" face and say see see see, I have the iphone duo, and you don't. 🤣

PhoneArena follows a predictable pattern with these articles. Whether it’s Apple or Samsung, they constantly publish pieces advising against upgrading, yet everyone does it anyway. It's clearly clickbait; they criticize a device before it’s even released, but as soon as pre-orders begin, the narrative changes. We’ll inevitably see reports about record-breaking sales, and the whole cycle will just repeat itself. This is exactly why PhoneArena has become so tedious lately. The content is consistently predictable, relying on the same cycle of manufactured skepticism for clicks.

It isn't about need; it’s about want. I didn't need a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, yet I bought it. I don't technically need an iPhone Duo, but I'm ordering one anyway. That’s just how it goes—I didn't need an iPhone 18 Pro Max either, but I have one. People buy what they desire, regardless of necessity.
