iPhone Duo First Impressions: The Real Star Isn't the Fold, It's the UI

For the iPhone Duo, Apple didn't stretch iOS; it rebuilt it for the fold. Link - https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/reviews/iphone-duo-first-impressions-12085391#pfrom=indepth.

Apple finally unwrapped the iPhone Duo after years of leaks and rumours that claimed the company has been working on a foldable. Early impressions from reviewers and YouTubers are surprisingly consistent: the hinge and the crease aren't the headline anymore. I got my hands on the iPhone Duo last week, and I used it for a bit to see whether what's turning heads is really the device's software. The good news is Apple didn't just shrink iOS to fit a fold. Why this feels fresh and exciting is that, for years, foldables running Android have seen UI that's stretched across two screens with some polishing, and brands calling it a day. Apple seems to have actually gone to the drawing board to figure out how you're supposed to use a foldable device. On the iPhone Duo, the dock moves and multitasking behaves differently depending on how you're holding it. The best part is that even the animation when you open the Duo does real work, not just looks pretty and resizes. It's the kind of detail that's easy to miss in a spec sheet but impossible to ignore once you've used it for some time.
