iPhone Duo reviewers dislike this one thing about Apples foldable
Reviewers may love the iPhone Duo, but the reaction to the inner-display FaceTime camera has been overwhelmingly negative.
The iPhone Duo officially launched on October 23rd and upon its debut, tech reviewers have given it mixed reviews. While most consider it a fun device, especially for a first-generation foldable, there is a consensus regarding one aspect they dislike: the under-display FaceTime selfie camera.
Stan Schroeder, from Mashable, noted that the FaceTime camera was one of the few issues with the device, stating that photos taken with it were "very processed, smudgy, AI-looking." Marques Brownlee, on his YouTube channel with 21.4 million subscribers, also criticized the camera, calling it "very first-gen and bad." Brownlee emphasized that the photo quality was "trash."
The iPhone Duo's under-display FaceTime camera is unique in that it is located under the screen, making it only usable when the device is unfolded. Unlike the other three cameras, which are displayed on the outer screen, this camera is not highlighted by Apple due to its low resolution (4MP) and poor image quality, as pointed out by Eric Zeman of PCMag and Ray Wong of Gizmodo. The FaceTime camera is primarily intended for video calls rather than selfies.
