I think the Duo looks great. And from the few hands on video I have seen I think the Apple presentation actually doesn't do it justice. There is no crease at all! [1] On the note on this year's keynote. I can't be the only one who feels the whole vibe of the keynote changed. This isn't Tim Cook style keynote and John Ternus wasted no time to try and changed a few things already. I can't wait for John to further shake…

Put down the kool aid mate.

Apple users: We won't leave apple ecosystem but those android fold phones looks cool, wish apple had something similar.

Apple: There you go.

This is the reason this exist.

I don't think the vibe significantly shifted in a positive way. It seemed like it was going to with Ternus' opening statements, but then it was back to the same vibe. Hard to put into words, but kind of a droning boring safe microsoft-y vibe. Craig Federighi brought more energy for his segment but he sounded almost sarcastic at times. John Srouji is a breath of fresh air. I liked Dr. Desai's vibe in the health sectio…

Everybody is nervous their first few times. Hell, I’d rather see that somebody’s nervous and actually human at this point lol.

Apple’s post-COVID keynotes have been like watching plastic people try to out virtue signal one another as they do their best Zuckerberg imitations. Nervousness and humanity anytime, please.

As a recent Android foldable phone owner (Google Pixel), I'm excited that the Duo will get developers to actually design apps for foldables. Right now, some apps don't work at all and others are just stretched. I feel a better use of the screen space is around the corner for both Android foldable and Duo users.

> a better use of the screen space is around the corner

I see what you did there :)

For Apple foldables yes. Not Android.

My immediate thought seeing this design was how expensive this is going to be for companies to get their existing apps to look good on this thing.
