iPhone Duo: Are these quirky apps enough to make the pricy Apple fold phone worth pre-ordering?
Apple's most expensive phone yet can fold, and that has led some to create some clever new apps. Are they enough, though?
The iPhone Duo has introduced a range of quirky apps that aim to make the pricy fold phone worth pre-ordering. One such app, Duoman, offers a complete Walkman experience on the iPhone Duo. Users can open the Duo to insert a cassette and close it to start listening, with the app even recording the button clicks and static noise from a real Walkman.
This nostalgic nod to the UK's humble personal stereo, Boots, comes as a surprise given the cost and fewer cameras on the iPhone Duo compared to the iPhone 18 Pro. Another unique app, Saura, utilizes the phone's split screen as a mirror and hands-free vanity assistant, making it a self-standing vanity mirror and talking back. Finally, Accorduon uses the hinge of the phone as the bellows for a synthesized reed sound.
While these creative apps don't offer a groundbreaking feature, they suggest potential in the new form factor and may provide reasons for some to pre-order the iPhone Duo.
