8 Things to Know About the iPhone Duo
The new iPhone Duo introduces a folding screen design that currently faces software optimization challenges with third-party apps. Additionally, the device replaces Face ID with Touch ID, marking a return to older biometric authentication methods for Apple's flagship line.
Why it matters
As Apple enters the foldable market, the user experience and hardware trade-offs provide insight into the company's strategy for competing with established foldable manufacturers.
Whether your Duo just landed on your doorstep or you're still weighing that $1,999 price, here's what you need to know before unfolding it.
Apps Aren’t Optimized—Yet
The iPhone Duo is a new shape and size for Apple, so many of your apps likely aren't optimized to show up properly on the unique 5.4-inch outer screen or the 7.6-inch inner display. Apple also changed how navigational elements appear on the Duo, aligning them on the right rail instead of centering them on the bottom like every other iPhone.
