Apple literally mocked other foldables at its launch event, saying vertical scrolling feels compromised and watching movies means dealing with oversized black bars that make the screen much smaller.
Now look at Apple doing the same thing, and suddenly Apple fans and some influencers are defending it. LMAO. The hypocrisy is unreal.
The lengths some Apple influencers are going to defend this situation just to maintain their future relationship with Apple tells you everything about their honesty.
Brand relationships shouldn't matter more than telling facts to your audience.
Looks like some people are cancelling their iPhone Duo pre-orders due to the current app optimization issues and the crease appearing after just a few hundred folds.
The crease is inevitable, but Apple could have handled app optimization much better by automatically scaling apps to fit the screen.
Although the software will get better and the app optimization will eventually be near perfect..but it's a mess right now.
The BEST iPhone Duo review I've seen so far.
@MediaStorm_en put the iPhone Duo through 10,000 folds, then another 1,000 at -4°F. These guys don’t mess around.

Looks like Apple shipped half-baked software with the iPhone Duo. Most third-party apps and games still don't offer a proper full-screen experience.
Apple has provided developers with the SDKs and tools to optimize their apps, which is great. But this should have been handled more intelligently at the OS level, just like Android and Samsung do. They don't require every developer or game studio to update their apps just to fit a different screen. The system can automatically scale existing apps to use the available display area. Developers can optimize their UI later, but Apple should have ensured a better out-of-the-box experience from day one.
Time to Install iOS on this beast!
Apple is in PANIC MODE right now!!!
Developers have ported iOS 16 to Android devices like the Nothing Phone (3), Xiaomi Redmi Note 10, Redmi Note 12 and other similar devices. Guides are even being published on Github to help people do it.
Apple has kept iMessage, FaceTime and its entire ecosystem exclusive to the iPhone for years, making iOS one of its biggest reasons for customer loyalty.
I'm not buying the iPhone Duo if I can't get it on Day 1
I'm not buying it for personal use. I'm buying it to review, test it, and compare it with Samsung and Xiaomi Fold. Getting the device on Day 1 is crucial because that's when the views make it worth the investment. Even then, we often struggle to recover the full cost of the device.
Spending $3,000 on a phone only to receive it a month later makes absolutely no business sense. By then, the hype is gone, the views are down, and the investment simply isn't worth it.

Apple is cancelling iPhone Duo orders of genuine customers too, just because they ordered more than 2 iPhones in the past year. Apple thinks they’re scalpers, and now even some real customers are getting cancellation emails.
Some people are getting their iPhone Duo earlier than expected, while others are losing their orders completely.
Apple cancelled my iPhone 18 Pro Max order by mistake and had to offer me a goodwill gesture to make up for it. I hadn't even ordered 2 iPhones in the past year, yet my order was still cancelled.
Apple is cancelling suspicious iPhone Duo orders, and many US customers who were previously facing November-December delivery dates are now seeing October 23, launch day.
This is how it should be. Stop scalpers, prioritize genuine customers, and let people enjoy their new iPhone on launch day!!!
iPhone Duo Shipping Early - Imagine expecting to wait months and suddenly getting your iPhone Duo on launch day.
Japanese Customers who were initially told they would have to wait until November or December are now seeing their delivery dates suddenly changed to October 23, the official launch day!
iPhone Duo Order Cancelled
If I can't get it on Day 1, I'm not buying it. I'd rather cancel my order than let Apple hold my money for months.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Apple authorizes but does not charge credit/debit cards for pre-orders until the item ships; only a temporary hold is placed and released if cancelled before charging.

Interesting to see that Multi-Window on the iPhone Duo doesn't work in portrait orientation, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 supports it in both portrait and landscape orientations.
