If developers don't ship dual-pane layouts, this is just a heavy phone.

They're onto something.

Day-one Android beating claims feel like PR. Ecosystem lock-in is what wins.

Calling it Duo instead of Ultra makes more sense. Ultra already means Watch energy.

I've been bouncing between Pixel Fold and keeping an iPhone for iMessage. If Duo lands near $2k with solid durability and proper multitasking, I might consolidate. Big if — Apple's first hardware in a category is rarely the one price-sensitive buyers should jump on. Waiting on hinge cycle tests and outer brightness reviews.

Dead serious.

Inner display brightness outdoors will decide whether this is a daily driver.

Android foldables refined this for years. Apple has to nail the hinge day one.

I'd rather they delay six months than ship a dust-collecting crease.

Not seeing the leap yet.

Solid W.

Naming is chaos: Ultra, Duo, Fold… Apple usually picks one and sticks.

Curious how MagSafe and cases even work. Accessory market will be a circus.

Love the travel pitch — phone in pocket, tablet on tray table. Hate the price.

Durability is the only review metric I trust less than lab benchmarks. I want six months of pocket lint, keys, and backpack abuse reports before I spend rent money on a foldable. Early adopters are unpaid QA. Respectfully declining that job.

If they price it at two thousand and the outer screen still feels fragile, I'm keeping my Pro Max.

People compare this to Samsung like Apple needs to catch up. Different game. Apple ships later, charges more, wins on continuity. Risk isn't Reddit mocking a crease — it's whether apps get real dual-pane layouts or just stretched phone UIs forever.

If it really starts at $2k I'm waiting for year two. First gen foldables always get the crease tax.

I'm here for multitasking, not for Instagram folding flex videos.

Trade-in values on Pro Max will get weird if Duo cannibalizes that tier.
