I Worked for a Whole Day Using Only the iPhone Duo. Here’s How It Went
A review of the new iPhone Duo explores its viability as a primary workstation, highlighting the challenges of iOS multitasking and app optimization. While the larger screen offers potential, the author notes that Apple's restrictive software design limits the device's utility for professional tasks.
Why it matters
The review illustrates the friction between hardware innovation and software limitations in the foldable smartphone market.
So can the Duo’s 7.6-inch screen pull double duty as a phone and a workstation? Does it make sense to shell out a few hundred more dollars for a single gadget that can theoretically handle the workload of two devices?
I wrote my entire iPhone Duo review on Apple’s new handset. I used a note-taking app called Bear, which was mercifully optimized for the Duo’s larger screen. (Read my review and you’ll hear about how most apps aren’t optimized; it could take weeks or months for everything to look right.) But surprisingly, I didn’t hate the experience.
