When the iPhone Duo is unfolded, it can cause issues when placed on certain upright MagSafe charger designs. According to Mrwhosetheboss, the uneven weight distribution on the iPhone Duo can make it tilt when open, as the MagSafe ring on the back is only on one side. Some chargers may not have strong enough magnets to support the extra weight on one side.
The iPhone Duo does have an anti-rotation magnet at the bottom of its magnetic charging ring, but not all chargers are designed to utilize it. However, Nilay Patel from The Verge demonstrated that the iPhone Duo can charge horizontally on a MagSafe charger without any issues, suggesting that it may not be a universal problem. It seems safest to use the iPhone Duo upright with MagSafe stands when it is closed, and a flat charger may avoid rotation issues.
Manufacturers are likely to create wider stands with a ledge to hold the Duo upright when unfolded, but users should be aware of positioning limitations on certain MagSafe chargers if they plan to use the Duo on a desk. The iPhone Duo is set to launch on October 23.
