iPhone Duo first impressions from a longtime iPhone user (since 3G):
The foldable screen is legitimately useful for multitasking—running two apps side-by-side without constant swiping. Reading experience is solid. Matte finish exceeds expectations.
But the hardware compromises hurt: no Face ID and no telephoto lens. Both feel like bigger losses in daily use than expected.
Verdict: Skip this gen. The price doesn't justify the feature cuts. Stick with Pro Max and wait for Duo 2 when Apple hopefully fixes these gaps.
