Every wild thing I learned about the iPhone Duo by answering your AMA questions

The Apple iPhone Duo sparked more interest than most products in recent years. Following my positive review, I held two AMAs on Threads and X, where I received an overwhelming number of questions. While not every query revolved around the Duo, many did. These ranged from my physical features to their favorite colors. However, I also gained valuable insights into aspects of the product that I may have overlooked during testing.

During the review process, I placed the Duo on various MagSafe stands and holders. The phone's MagSafe magnets, located at the back beneath the camera array, enabled it to fit perfectly on each stand. The Duo seamlessly slipped into the redesigned Standby mode. However, when asked if it could be unfolded and placed on a MagSafe stand, I discovered that the phone's weight when unfolded made it rotate slowly on the charging stand.

While it's possible to use the unfolded Duo on a MagSafe charger, it's not recommended due to this issue.

Another inquiry concerned using the standard MagSafe Wallet with the Duo. I found that the phone's back was too short to accommodate the wallet. As for wallpaper options, I tested how vertical photos worked across the Duo's two screens. I took a vertical photo of the Empire State Building with the Duo, set it as the cover wallpaper, and was pleased to see it displayed on the outer screen, with more of the photo visible when the Duo opened.

Regarding split-screen capabilities, I confirmed that only two apps can be opened simultaneously, but users can create a picture-in-picture (PiP) video overlay. Dragging and dropping content between screens is possible. Additionally, it's possible to run different apps on each screen, such as TikTok and Instagram Reels side-by-side, providing a highly immersive social media experience.
