Apple Introduces iPhone Duo

The iPhone Duo is priced starting at $1,999


So you get 2 phones for $1,999? Seems a little steep but not bad

I know a person who has had a foldable samsung for about 3 years. He loves it because it can go in a pocket.


How has the screen held up (in the foldable part)? That's what I'm most curious about.

And people who don’t need it will buy em while at the same time bitch about affordability.

Jobs was revolutionary. But when he died Apple became “let’s let others invent and we will just copy.”

It’s cheaper to just have an iPhone and an iPad, so I’ll stick with doing just that.

I can't fathom spending $2K on a fricking phone.


Why are we still pretending these are just phones?

I will always argue that smart phones are insanely cheap for what they do and the importance in our lives, whether we like it or not

Looks like they are narrowing the gap at stealing other manufacturer's ideas. In several more years, they may be in position to bring something to the market that is new.

Hold up, I’ve carried my iPhone in my pocket since I’ve had one. Am I not supposed to do that?

Yet again, Apple 5-7 yrs behind Samsung and the iPhone-ites will gobble this shite up like it's a revolutionary trend.

I'm not a phone guy, but honestly that thing looks pretty awesome.

That being said, I assume I can just admire it from afar since I will never remotely pay what they are asking for it and don't really have a desire to have one at all.

But it does look cool.

I'd like to see the Touch ID from the new DUO put on all the iphones. Other than that, I don't see the need.

I would be worried about the folding mechanism holding up to even normal use. Probably best to get Apple Care with this phone. I am interested.

I’m not buying until they get the 1st gen kinks out and until they have good cases that will work with the folding features

agree. And you can get a smart phone at best buy for a couple hundred bucks that will do all the important stuff in your life that you need.
