I’m a bit shocked for the design of the folio cover for iPhone duo.

1) it seems that doesn’t permit to add some mag safe accessories like extra battery or wallet with cards

2) I don’t understand if with this cover on, the first screen is not usable at all or permits to access to the “external” smaller screen

I understand that this kind of design obviously obligates to some constraints, but I think what Steve would have decided in such situation.

I hope that we don’t fall again in the Performa epoch in which we had a lot of different Mac and designs under the same line

Trying to figure out what demographic this is for and I'm coming up empty. Any ideas?

It's too small to replace my ipad, too big to replace my phone. Seems too fragile for kids, plus they don't need that. Maybe it's good for the elderly?

it's the most expensive iPhone. People want to flex their wealth. Foldable phones usually replace phones, not tablets.

I'm a (Samsung) Fold user. They're great - a year in I never, or rarely if ever see the minute crease, and ditto here with Apple. The reality is that ~70% of the time I want a small screen. It's perfect (if thick due to the fold). It opens to "larger" (i.e 8 inches) which is great - compared to what I had before (6.9").

I'm actually hoping that this will force Samsung to solve their silly lockscreen choices, and the fact that it needs to be "configured" to be useful, because it's separate (Multilock - I'm talking to you). Honestly, I would happily take even bigger. The extra real estate when you want it is great. But it needs to hit tablet(ish) sizes. We're just in early days.

Whats the use case? Is this a phone or a size-reduced ipad? This looks hard to keep in you pocket, and even worse to operate with one hand.

Im having a hard time to understand what and who this is for.
