Apple Intelligence could be the key to cram Face ID into future iPhone Duo
A new report obviously predicts that Apple wants to replace the iPhone Duo 's existing Touch ID with Face ID as soon as possible, and suggests that Apple Intelligence might help. Face ID invisibly scans the user's face to confirm their identity before unlocking - image credit: Apple. Touch ID is easily the most apparent compromise in the iPhone Duo, and Apple has had to go back it because of that…
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the upcoming iPhone Duo both showcase foldable designs, but Samsung's device edges out Apple in several key areas. The Z Fold 8 is notably lighter and thinner, weighing 201 grams (7.09 ounces) compared to the iPhone Duo's 254 grams (8.96 ounces), and unfolding to a thickness of 4.5mm versus Apple's 5.2mm.
This lighter weight translates to a more comfortable user experience. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is also more affordable, starting at $1,899 for the 256GB model, while the iPhone Duo begins at $1,999. The Fold 8 also surpasses the Duo in multitasking capabilities, allowing up to four windows and floating app windows, unlike Apple's two Split View windows.
Samsung's DeX feature enables users to transform their foldable into a desktop-like interface, a capability absent from the iPhone Duo, which relies solely on its display. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 offers flexibility in SIM options, supporting both eSIM and physical SIM cards, while the iPhone Duo exclusively employs eSIM technology worldwide.
Lastly, for those concerned about AI capabilities, Samsung's Z Fold 8 offers a 16GB RAM option, especially advantageous for emerging AI applications, whereas the iPhone Duo remains at a fixed 12GB.
