iPhone Duo faces criticism from Nothing's CEO over value and features amid rising pre-order scams
Nothing's CEO reckons the iPhone Duo's lack of features makes it bad value, while scams and sketchy bots also present risks to careless buyers.
Nothing's CEO Carl Pei has criticized the iPhone Duo, stating it is a "waste of money" due to its premium price and lack of essential features like a telephoto camera, a good selfie camera, and Face ID. Despite this, pre-order bots have emerged, which users should avoid using. The phone's demand is strong, potentially making it the best-selling foldable phone ever, but its lack of key iPhone features makes it less valuable.
Pei emphasizes the Duo's folding animation as the main attraction, but ultimately, Apple's attention to detail is what will likely drive its success. The high demand could lead to pre-order bots and potential scams, so it's crucial to order directly from Apple or reputable retailers.
