These clever apps show off the iPhone Duo’s potential
The author explores the potential of the new iPhone Duo, a foldable device that breaks Apple's tradition of incremental hardware updates. While initial mainstream app support is lacking, the author highlights how creative developer-led apps are making the device an exciting prospect.
Why it matters
It marks Apple's entry into the foldable smartphone market, signaling a shift in their design philosophy and mobile ecosystem strategy.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been genuinely excited about a new iPhone.
For years, a new iPhone meant a device that was thinner, faster, and had a camera that came with incredible upgrades. At some point (and Apple devotees can debate which year’s model this was!), a new iPhone became an incremental upgrade. Slightly better, slightly faster. Maybe there was a new button to learn, a new charging cable , or a new notch on the screen , but the iPhone itself remained the same rectangular glass and metal handheld it always was.
The iPhone Duo changes this, allowing Apple to enter the market for foldable phones with a phone that, while imperfect , is whimsical, fun, and, yes, actually exciting.
