Weekly poll results: the iPhone Duo nailed the form factor

Apple nailed it on its first try – no, Cupertino didn’t invent the wide foldable form factor, but the results from last week’s poll show that it was the best choice compared to releasing a book-style or a flip foldable. Just look at how small the yellow and orange segments are (they correspond to exactly those choices in the poll). Of course not, but this price tag significantly limits the pool of potential…

Weekly poll results: the iPhone Duo nailed the form factor, iPhone 18 Pro Max upstages the 18 Pro. This might not make much of a difference this year anyway as analysts warn of production woes – if the 6 million production target proves right, it might mean that Apple will sell every Duo it makes, for better or for worse. This poll suggests that Android is still the preferred platform for foldables.

Only a small group of reviewers have actually handled the phone – this is a big change for how iOS does things. Remember that Apple develops iOS and iPadOS separately, even if they have the same core. Some people in the comments say that they will wait for a couple of generations of iPhone Duos – give Apple time to work out the kinks.
