Look out Samsung Galaxy Z series, here comes the new Apple iPhone Duo, the company’s first outing into the burgeoning foldable phone market. Why have one screen when you can have three screens? This foldable phone release also marks both Apple’s thinnest iPhone and its largest. The Duo clocks in at a 7.6inch inside display and a 5.4inch cover display. In its open version, the phone is 5.2mm thick. Closed, 11.3mm. But, of course, it’s the price tag that’s caught our eye. Apple iPhone Duo will cost $2,000—yikes!
Apple’s iPhone Duo Has a Hinge Made of Over 100 Components
Apple emphasized the smoothness and the flatness of the iPhone Duo’s screen, which is made up of ten ultra-thin layers, reinforced with nano textures. The Duo’s all-important hinge is noted to be durable, pairing well with the titanium-reinforced ceramic frame. The hinge is also made up of over 100 components. Which…seems more like neutral information, rather than a flex, but what do I know? Regardless, Apple promises perfectly balanced torque when it comes to the folding of the screens in its phone.
You Can Play Video Games on the iPhone Duo
The iPhone Duo, naturally, has dual batteries. They’re kept from bursting into flames by the vapor-cooled A20 Pro Chip. This significantly improves the phone’s ability to maintain high performance, particularly when it comes to playing video games. Needless to say, it’s got power comparable to a computer, even more so than the typical iPhone. Break out your Steam Links, y’all. What’s the point of having a phone if you can’t play Crusader Kings 3 on it?
The iPhone Duo Is the Swiss Army Knife of iPhones… And You Can Use 2 Cameras at Once
The 48MP camera is impressive, and handy if you want to study every pore on your face in tremendous detail. The iPhone Duo can also be its own tripod! No more scrabbling for something to lean your phone against to get the right angle. Plus, the Duo can use its front and back cameras, simultaneously. Along with packing the same punch as a computer, you can fold the iPhone Duo in to a computer! It’s the Swiss Army Knife of iPhones.
Max Out Your Storage? How Does 2 Terabytes Sound?
One of the Duo’s biggest selling points is its memory storage capabilities. It starts at 256GB, but can go all the way up to two terabytes of storage. This can be your iPad, your laptop, and your iPhone, all on the go. With that eye-watering $2,000 price point, it better be! If you’re in the market and the iPhone Duo feels right for you, Apple starts pre-orders on 10/16, and the phone will be officially out 10/23.
So, Is the Apple iPhone Duo Worth $2,000?
Well, we guess it depends where your priorities lie… and what $2,000 means to you. We hate to say it, but, for some people… It might just be worth the price tag. If you can trade in all your tech for one phone, and you’re one of those young ones who do everything on it… It could make sense. We have to say, nothing about it sounds unappealing. But, we are children of our age.
