Apple Surveys iPhone Duo Buyers About Crease and Camera

Apple is reaching out to select iPhone Duo purchasers to gather opinions on various aspects of the new foldable device, including display size, crease, under-display camera, and other features. The first question inquires about the reasoning behind the buyer's choice to purchase the iPhone Duo, with possible answers encompassing a desire to test Apple's inaugural foldable, an impulsive decision, or an anticipation of rising smartphone prices.

Subsequent questions delve into the dimensions of the iPhone Duo's display when it is closed, the visibility of the crease, the potential distraction caused by the under-display camera, and the camera's image quality. The concluding question is open-ended, inviting buyers to suggest any enhancements or modifications to the iPhone Duo.

As it has been approximately two weeks since the iPhone Duo's launch, it is not atypical for Apple to conduct surveys in the aftermath of a new product's introduction. The inquiries touch upon aspects where the iPhone Duo deviates from standard iPhone models. The outer display of the Duo measures 5.4 inches, which is comparable to the size of the discontinued iPhone mini series.

The inner display's under-screen camera is restricted to 4MP, a point of significant criticism in reviews. However, the survey does not probe into the Touch ID functionality, the usability of unoptimized apps, or the display issues reported by some users, all of which are also prominent concerns associated with the iPhone Duo.
