‘iPhone Duo is a waste of money’: Nothing CEO Carl Pei slams Apple’s $1,999 foldable

Nothing CEO Carl Pei has criticised Apple’s first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, calling it a ‘'iPhone Duo is a waste of money’' because of its $1,999 price tag and missing features. In a recent video posted to Instagram, Pei pointed out the lack of a dedicated telephoto camera and some advanced photo features as two major disadvantages. The iPhone Duo was showcased at Apple’s recent launch event and has received a largely positive initial response. However, Pei doesn't think the foldable has enough functionality to warrant its high cost. He says his criticism is of the camera system, the biometric authentication and the compromises Apple made to achieve its slim design.See videoiPhone Duo misses out on Face IDFace ID has been an important feature of Apple's flagship smartphones since the iPhone X was launched in 2017.
