Apple Announces Foldable 'iPhone Duo'

did I miss the price!?

No FaceID is a dealbreaker.

Bingo. Same for any upgrades on the iPad mini. I've put up with TouchID long enough

 

[CooCool]

Don’t like the reimagined iOS it comes with 😕

 

[jouster]

Feel like the price, battery, cooling, and cameras bode well for the Air 2.

It’s not just about looks, it’s about comfort. Sharp edges are not comfortable.

It's sharp on the left side. Asymmetrical.

 

[gugy]

Damn, the price is tough however maybe my T-Mobile will have a good upgrade offer.

did I miss the price!?

$1999 in the US

Introducing the iPhone Tern(us)

 

[Azeroth1]

Anything with a hinge I am suspect of. Impressive device for sure, engineering seems incredible. I just don't see how I wouldn't destroy one.

 

[cl516]

Looks awesome to me!

 

[rockosmodurnlif]

Does the telephoto camera mean it can take macro photos?

 

[Nyx1]

$2k the price i think will be fine

 

[Anijake]

where was the demo on how to get this in and out of your pocket?

 

[joshwithachance]

I can’t lie… I’m glad I didn’t wait and sprung for the Galaxy Fold8 instead. Especially factoring in the 25% added weight comparatively and the fact that the Duo is still another 6 weeks away.

But for a gen 1 product, it seems pretty solid! And it’s priced fairly. I don’t personally like the asymmetrical design however. So I’ll be sitting this one out and sticking with the Air as my iOS device of choice.🙏🏼

 

[MrAR]

They freaking did it, no crease at all. (At least on the video)

Wouldn’t be too sure about that …

 

[smaffei]

wow, under screen camera after all

Yeah, but couldn't get the LIDAR working under the screen. Hence, no Face ID and relying on Touch ID.

 

[Mikep976]

Andddd just like I thought. Apple rolls a foldable, suddenly it's not as "useless" or "solution in search of a problem" as everyone said.

I myself, will be a day 1 preorder, as I have always said.

 

[GregoryPeckEPA]

The entire product demo shows just how little a folding phone offers. Video while texting someone. Comparing websites (lol). A built in stand (lmao). Some multitasking features. There is just so little it adds and all of it pretty much done better with a tablet.

Tell me you’re running out of ideas without telling me you’re running out of ideas. Apple definitely peaked in 2020.

The regression to Touch ID is such a step down. Face IDs speed and seamless integration and greatly improved security is a real loss.

Edit: I see the pricing now on their website. Only 24 month term, $57.99/mo. That's not bad, my current iPhone Pro is $57/mo on the older iPhone Upgrade Program.

Strange that they mentioned Apple Upgrade pricing for the iPhone Pro, but not for the iPhone Duo. I know the preorder isn't until October 23rd, so maybe we'll get more details closer to that date, but I want to know if they will offer a 36 month term. If not, I'll just get the iPhone Pro. Basically I just want to keep my monthly payment about the same coming off iPhone Upgrade.

I was mostly set on getting the Pro before this event, but they really outdid themselves with the iPhone Duo. I love the upgraded iOS experience, and how they really thought through carefully all the different ways you can use it. I'm very impressed.

 

[cybercommand]

No thank you

 

[thebarrkbyte]

MagSafe?????

 

[Tyler O'Bannon]

All in all I dig it. Getting one will require the carriers having some pretty good deals on it. We shall see

Love it, but not the device you buy in the 1st gen.

I think Apple has waited long enough and let other companies be the "1st gen-ers". This is a solid, polished, ready to go product

 

[jdclifford]

Guessing $2199… love the Duo name. It’s very iPad in nature. Lack of FaceID is a killer.

Even better...Starts at $1,999 !

 

[AAPLbuyback]

Let’s be serious, it looks amazing. Bargain at $1999.

 

[CEmajr]

Didn't have any interest in this based on the leaks but they did a good job at selling it. It looks great.
