iPhone Duo Live Q&A: I spent a week with Apple's foldable and am answering ALL your questions
Let's talk about whether iPhone Duo is right for you
Apple's first foldable is finally here, and our full iPhone Duo review has been attracting a lot of attention and comments ahead of tomorrow's official release date. I've been living with the Duo for a little over a week now, using it as my everyday phone, so I have lots to share in terms of pros and cons. And it seems you have plenty of questions, too, with nine questions and counting in the thread below and more on our socials.
So whether you've already pre-ordered and want a sneak peak of your new handset, you're thinking of camping out at a store tomorrow, or you're on the fence about whether this device is worth $2,000, I'm here to answer any and all questions you have.
So far we've answered questions about:
- Inner display durability
- Portability
- Battery life
- Apps
- How it compares to Samsung's Fold 8 Ultra
- The speed of Touch ID vs Apple Watch unlocking
- Buying advice
With this Live Q&A on Tom's Guide I'm here to answer all of your questions, so keep them coming. Hopefully my advice can help you decide for yourself whether to rush out to buy, or hold off. Drop your question in the Live Q&A box below, and I'll give you my honest and informed advice.
Answering your questions is me, Mark Spoonauer, Tom's Guide's global editor in chief and Apple expert. I just reviewed the iPhone Duo and have interviewed Apple's CEO John Ternus twice now.
