I’m a boomer and don’t know how to use X properly so this thread is all messed up, but my first few hours with the iPhone Duo have left me… confused and relatively disappointed 🤷♂️
Using the iPhone Duo is a truly bizarre experience. Not intuitive at all, and so many weird quirks.
Here are a few things that stand out:
[Thread]
You can’t open Split View multitasking from the multitasking / multi-window page. You have to be *in an app* first.
So Split View multitasking is always: Open App -> Enter Split View -> Open Second App
There is no “resizing” of the apps in Split View multitasking with iPhone Duo. The apps retain the 50/50 size, or the app you pull over nearly full-screen just auto-opens full screen and closes the other app.
So many people show “resizing” and that’s just not a feature.
The “Portrait” Split View multitasking that’s been shown is just a floating video on top of an app, but it doesn’t function as Split View multitasking at all. It’s a unique 50/50ish Portait top/bottom layout, but it’s not the same feature as Split View
Taking offers starting at $10,000. Line begins here. 🤑
They said it couldn’t be done. Yet we remain undefeated 😤 iPhone Duo in-hand.
The 9am - 10am pick-up time had like 50 people in line when I left. Spread across the whole day, my store probably had 150+ in stock.
But as of now, they’re basically all claimed for reservations.
Strange pre-order situation for sure. They limit in-store pick-up time slots for pre-order, but for walk-ins they gave people pick-up time slots to come back later in the morning…after waiting since 4am, 3am, etc.
My store certainly had 50 - 100 units.
Why do it this way?
Reporting live from the Apple Store at Town Square in Las Vegas. 4:45am. Just got here and there are about 30-35 people in the walk-in line for the iPhone Duo 😳
First Apple employee sighting right at 6am. She came out, considered moving the line in a different direction, then decided against it.
Only question someone asked: “How many iPhone Duos do you have?”
Her answer: “I’m not allowed to say” 🤯
Drove by my local Apple Store here in [redacted] and no one was in line. The store was bustling with a few employees setting up the displays inside.
I am - perhaps foolishly - mildly ambitious about potentially grabbing an iPhone Duo in-store via walk-in tomorrow. Stay tuned ✌️
There will either be 0 people in line or 500. No in-between.
I don’t think any Apple Store will have more an 10 - 15 iPhone Duos for walk-in customers
