Not pretending to know better than Apple’s entire market research team, but intuitively I don’t imagine the iPhone Duo selling like hot cakes in the $2–3.2K range. I’ll certainly need to revisit my priors about a bunch of things if it does.

The new iPhone Duo is not for me. Always preferred smaller phones.
The iPhone 13 mini was just perfect at 5.4 inches. Fits perfectly in my hand. Likely that it didn’t kick off in sales and Apple just developed bigger phones moving forward.
Main reason is that you dont need that much space. A phone is meant to have just the right size to do exactly one thing.
Would be great if phones could be flexible or get it custom made. But that’s asking too much.
For more space, it makes sense to simply buy a laptop.
inner screen is matte finished with a glossy underscreeen camera? Interesting… the matte finish makes the screen look very washed out

i want to say cheers for all of the devs that have gone through that very special process of submission of an app to the review process of the app store
Installed and started testing and first impressions are really really good.
I was reminded about it because of a video recommending Swift Salamander, a bizarrely named, very similar in style and functionality, closed source option.
