Apple iPhone Duo hands-on: Your productivity will hinge on this

Apple has finally unveiled its first foldable device, the iPhone Duo, after waiting more than seven years. The device, which is Apple's thinnest smartphone at 5.2mm when open, boasts a passport-sized design that unfolds to a 19.3cm (7.6-inch) display. The Duo replaces the Action Button and Face ID with a Touch ID on the power button and a new feature that automatically takes pictures.

Despite the omission of certain features, the device offers a smooth and reliable experience with a sturdy hinge, multitasking capabilities, and optimized apps for work, play, and creation. The Duo is available in night sky and star white colors and is priced between Dh8,499 and Dh13,599 in the UAE. Users can expect a battery life comparable to the iPhone 18 Pro, with two batteries working together seamlessly.

Apple's iPhone Duo is expected to do well, especially for those who find foldables cumbersome and are willing to invest in the seamless integration into Apple's ecosystem.
