Re: iPhone Duo
#402I've had two folding phones and I am not going back until the issues are resolved. Here were my problems: 1. After a while, I think dust would inevitably get in the hinges and wouldn't fold flat. I've seen demos in stores of newer gen Samsung foldable phones and it looks like those wouldn't fold flat 2. The inner screen protector eventually lifted off the screen, causing catastrophic damage, and requiring repair (und…

For your first point, the iPhone duo is rated IP 68 Dust and Water protection. Literally none of Samsung's book foldables so far have achieved this IP rating.

#403Why do they insist on every new phone being bigger than the phones before them? I don't mind folding. I think it's cool, and a nice way to get a useful space. But I have big hands, and I can't use my iphone 17 now without two hands. This is even wider before unfolding. Who wants bigger phones? Who is like, "damn I wish I had a tablet that I could fold up and still barely fit in my pocket"? I want smaller phones. The…
I specifically have an iPhone SE for this reason. I should be able to reach the upper right corner with one hand.

#404I want the hardware, but with Linux! SteamOS or bazzite would be a good start..

Still use mine!
I will say it was a pain in the ass to open and answer calls though when you were busy doing things.

#406One thing I love about metric paper is the beauty of the simplicity: When you fold it, it maintains its ratio. This is because it is 1:1.41, aka 1:sqrt(2) When I saw that this new phone is 1:1.4, I instantly appreciated why it is that way. Metric paper wins again!
Nearly impossible to actually buy A4 paper in the US
Amazon typically has it; https://www.amazon.com/Hammermill-Paper-letter-Bright-Sheets... by Friday. I occasionally need some for Australian paperwork and forget where I stashed it every time. Some day I'll open a closet and find 20 reams of the stuff with a page or two missing.
Re: iPhone Duo
#407why is Apple releasing new products when Siri is falling so short compared to the industry. Make Siri amazing would improve every apple product immensely.
The new iOS rebrands Gemini as Siri - and from all accounts of the public beta, it's pretty decent, and an enormous upgrade from the current/old Siri.

#408The people at Microsoft who made the Surface Duo must be feeling pretty weird seeing this. The name, the aspect ratio, the way the UI works, the gestures for setting up split-screen, the "use it as a tiny laptop" mode... It's all things they pioneered. Not that that's a bad thing. I absolutely loved the Surface Duo, it was my favorite phone until it stopped working correctly, and I hope other Android manufacturers ta…

This feature is also standard in existing folding phones. It's a pretty obvious feature tbh.
Re: iPhone Duo
#409Really want information about if there is a left-handed software setting for the new side-oriented buttons
Right handed women (which is a giant market) are going to love this thing.

#410I'm surprised they weren't able to figure out face id and had to go back to touch id.
