The iPhone Duo works with the Apple Pencil, has crazy water resistance and a nanotexture display, but for $2 ,000 there's no face ID,

no zoom camera and no action button.

So here's everything good and bad about Apple's new iPhone Duo.

Okay, now from my experience, the camera on this bad boy is pretty good.

It has two, a 48 megapixel wide and a 48 megapixel ultra wide.

And honestly, the pictures are pretty decent.

You can definitely get some great shots, but for some people, this could be a big deal -breaker, and it's that there's no telephoto camera,

meaning zooming in won't look as good as on most other iPhones.

But what really surprised me is there's rumors going around

that the Duo's main camera is almost the same as the cheaper 17E's camera.

So, I shot some test photos with the Duo, the 17E, and the 18

Pro Max to compare, but before I show you the results, let me know if you guys can guess which one is which.

As for the selfie camera, I really like that it comes with center stage, just like on the 18

Pro Max, but unlike the Pro Max, it's only 12 megapixels and not 18.

But honestly, that hasn't mattered as much as I thought

because I've been taking most of my selfies using the Duo Preview feature that uses the 48 megapixel main camera anyway,

which is way better than the 12 megapixel selfie.

And I've also been trying out its new

Smart Take feature, which basically automatically snaps a photo the second you strike a pose, which works pretty well actually.

But as cool as those new features are, there's a few missing too.

Like there's no

Pro RAW photos, spatial photos, ProRes videos, Apple Log videos or even variable aperture.

Basically no Pro features at all.

Also the volume buttons are at the top of the screen above the camera

which just isn't the best placement

because whenever I change the volume my fingers do tend to touch the cameras and then leave smudges on the lenses.

Especially when I take screenshots because this is how you do it now on the Duo.

And if you were wondering about that camera bump, how wobbly it would be on a table, it's actually not that bad.

It's definitely better than other foldables I've tried.

Okay, but now back to that camera test.

Here are the results, and as you can see, the Duo is way more like the 18

Pro Max compared to the 17e, so I do think the sensor is probably better.

But it still sucks that the most expensive iPhone doesn't give you the best cameras.

The display, on the other hand, is a totally different story.

all right before we get into this crazy inner display here's

what you got to know about the outer one first personally

i wasn't sure i'd like the new size 5 .4 inches

but it has really grown on me it really just makes everything

so much more reachable with just my thumb compared to most other phones with their much taller screen

so i've really been enjoying it

and even though it's small it is still super high res like watching videos on it feels great

and same with browsing social media like Instagram, a bit of TikTok or YouTube.

I love it.

And the vertical bar itself is also very well thought out in my opinion.

It makes it a lot easier to navigate around but also harder.

But that's only because you can't switch it to the left side.

So if you did want to use the duo with your left hand, yeah, you're not going to have the best time.

Then speaking of sides, you'll also find it has a fairly raised power button

that you obviously use to lock or unlock and it also doubles as the touch ID button too, which is pretty cool.

But for me, what is very frustrating is

that means there is no face id i mean i've been using face id for years now

so not having it anymore is definitely going to take some adjusting

and what's kind of even more frustrating is that it takes just

that extra beat to unlock it is not instant like you find on some other phones

i mean you can even see it loading before it unlocks

but one of my favorite features about this outer display is

that it works with the apple pencil oh a stylus who wants a stylus

I guess you could say it's kind of like a stylus.

But so far, the only Apple Pencil that will work on it is the USB -C edition.

I did try another pen like this one from ESR, and although it was connected, it didn't work.

At least not yet.

But the best part is you can use the Apple Pencil on the inner display too.

So, when you open up the Duo, you get a relatively large 7 .6 -inch display.

And of course, this display is great for a few things.

The most obvious one is to use with the Apple Pencil for things like writing inside notes or even drawing and doodling.

But, and this will be a pretty big but for some, because the Duo is only compatible with the Apple Pencil USB Edition,

it doesn't have pressure sensitivity.

So no matter how hard or soft you press, you'll just get the same stroke, which is kind of a bummer.

But I mean, there still is so much you can do with the Apple Pencil,

but I'll cover that in a bit more detail in my Tips and Tricks video, so make sure you sub to check that out.

As for watching videos, though, this display is awesome.

It's essentially just as wide as the 18

Pro Max, but depending on the video's aspect ratio you're watching, it can be a much better experience.

It's also really great for reading, great for typing out mails.

It works with most social media apps, but not all apps.. have supported this aspect ratio just yet.

The display is also 120 hertz pro motion with a nice crisp high resolution

so it is really awesome for things like gaming.

But I'm even more impressed by how bright it gets.

It's a 3000 nit display

so using it outside in direct sunlight is no issue at all especially

because of that matte nano texture layer that essentially gets rid of all reflections and makes the crease practically invisible.

What's really cool is

if you scratch the nano texture display you can get replaced for only 19 bucks

but you do have to have apple care

but what's not cool is some duo owners have unfolded their phones to hear a crunch

then found the inner screen damaged by a crack right along the crease

and that is gonna cost luckily not mine also as you can see the inner display has no camera cutouts

but that's because instead it has an under display camera

which as cool as it is has pretty quality

but now for the first time ever you can actually split screen on an iPhone.

Now this is the very first iPhone that can multitask using split screen.

The way it works is pretty smooth

but you can only split screen two apps at a time

but honestly I think it's more than enough because when last did you actually split screen anything three ways, right?

And because the screen is kind of like having two outer display apps open at the same time,

it means that you can't resize the windows either.

We're basically stuck to just one size.

And this is frustrating, but it's also stuck to one orientation too, landscape only.

So you can't split screen in portrait mode for some reason.

100

Like why?

101

But something I really like though is

102

when you are watching a video in let's say YouTube or Netflix and you half fold the screen,

103

it goes into this seated mode where the top of the screen is the video of course

104

and the bottom half shows all the controls.

105

This even works with typing up messages which is really nifty and this is something the Fold 8 can't even do.

106

Overall split screening multitasking is really cool even though it's a bit limited but now let me show you my favorite details.

107

Okay something I am really impressed by is this transition effect between the outer and inner display.

108

It is a small detail I know but it honestly just makes you actually want to open your duo.

109

Not only that, but the new

110

Wi -Fi icon is actually displaying three things, your battery percentage, cellular signal, and Wi -Fi strength.

111

And when you tap on it, it opens the control center and just shows them each in a little more detail.

112

They even thought of cases with a slightly bigger edge.

113

So like this Apple case, when you put it on, it kind of overlaps some of the content.

114

But inside the display settings, there's this option to shift the left edge.

115

And with that little setting, it completely solves the overlapping problem while letting you still protect your pricey phone.

116

Even the measuring app has such a cool little detail.

117

You can use it like you've always been able to but now when you fold it,

118

it actually uses both screens as two separate levels measuring the tilt of each half.

119

Cool.

120

I also really like how apps on the outer display have their tools

121

and toolbar on the right hand side next to your thumb.

122

Same with the inner screen.

123

It just makes navigating around so much more natural.

124

And what's really cool is because of how big this display is, if you partially fold the duo,

125

it goes into this kind of book mode and and just makes things more reachable again.

126

But my absolute favorite detail is what's been done with standby mode.

127

It works by putting the duo in this tent position, or you could have it half opened in this landscape mode.

128

But essentially it's a really cool bedtime clock that shows you your calendar, time, weather.

129

And the best part is it even works without having to be plugged in and charging.

130

Man, I love it.

131

All these features and kind of details really stack up and make the duo feel kind of next level, but is the build next level?

132

So the Duo is now the last remaining iPhone to be made of titanium.

133

Meaning, scratching the frame on this will be really hard, but I've already noticed a scratch somewhere else on mine.

134

It turns out that the ceramic shield on the back of the Duo seems to scratch easier than other materials.

135

I'm almost certain this has something to do with the fact that I wear rings all the time,

136

because I also notice scratches on the back of my 18 Pro Max.

137

And yeah, I'm not happy about that.

138

I haven't noticed scratches on any of my other phones, so if you wear rings and you got this, just be careful.

139

But other than that, its hinge is really strong, but still easy enough to open.

140

And it even has this nice kind of satisfying snap.

141

But what impressed me even more is it's only 5 .2 millimeters.

142

That's even thinner than the already super thin

143

Air, which does just make it really comfy to hold.

144

But not for very long periods of time, because even though it's thin, it's pretty heavy.

145

The heaviest iPhone they've ever made, actually.

146

And yeah, as you can imagine, I'm not the biggest fan of that because there are definitely other foldables out there that are way lighter.

147

But what does make the Duo stand apart is it's IP68 rated for up to six meters.

148

I was very uncomfortable dunking this in a fish tank of water and definitely don't recommend you try this, but I was really impressed.

149

And so your Duo theoretically should survive if you drop it in water.

150

As for the durability of the.. inner display, well, Apple don't really say.

151

And that's either because they're that confident in it or because you'll probably never fold and unfold it 200 ,000 times, which is what

152

Samsung folds are rated for.

153

Wow.

154

And believe it or not, even though it's this thin, it still has MagSafe, so you can use accessories or even wireless chargers.

155

The only problem is if you ever wanted to use MagSafe while looking at the inner display, it does tend to droop like this,

156

unless you have a decent charger with proper magnets like this one from ESR.

157

Then there's no drooping at all.

158

Just good to know.

159

And let's not forget, it also has two stereo speakers for that kind of surround sound feeling, which I personally think sounds great.

160

What it doesn't have though is an action button.

161

And I don't know about you guys, but I would have preferred that over the camera control, which I literally only used to open the camera.

162

And there's also no SIM card slot.

163

The Duo is eSIM only, so whoever your provider is, just make sure they support eSIMs.

164

As for the battery though, well, I think it's going to surprise you.

165

Alright, so because this is the most expensive iPhone, you'd expect it to have the best batteries, right?

166

Because, I mean, it has the most powerful iPhone chip.

167

And this chip makes everything, like multitasking, editing, or even gaming, feel super snappy.

168

But, turns out, the Duo's battery is actually smaller than the 18 Pro Max.

169

That doesn't necessarily mean it's worse though, because surprisingly, I got around just as much battery life from it as the 18 Pro Max.

170

And as for charging, there's no disappointment there either.

171

It's actually just as fast as the newer iPhones, so 0 -50 % in just 20 minutes using wired charging.

172

And then of course there's also wireless charging using Qi2 with 25 watts, so it's pretty quick.

173

But is all of this worth it for the price?

174

now as i'm sure you guys know you can get the duo for $1 ,999

175

but the crazy part is for

176

that price you can easily get the 18 pro max with better cameras

177

and the latest ipad mini so

178

that begs the question is the extra amount you're paying for to get an iphone

179

and an ipad to fit in your pocket worth it well

180

if you care about a folding iphone display with nano texture smart take that duo preview camera,

181

multitasking, seated controls, and Apple Pencil support on an iPhone, then yes, it's worth it.

182

But if you don't care about any of that, then maybe this phone is not for you.

183

I'd love to hear what you guys think of the duo, so let me know down in the comments,

184

but also make sure you subscribe so you don't miss my tips and tricks on it.

Toodles!

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
