MKBHD: most people shouldn't buy Apple's $2,000 iPhone Duo

Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) said after about a week and a half of testing that the iPhone Duo is "very polished around the edges, but kind of rough in the middle": the display, hinge and animations impress, but many third-party apps aren't optimized, there's no Face ID or telephoto camera, and Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 is thinner and over 20% lighter. He says the foldable only makes sense for those who want a tablet-sized screen in their pocket and accept the compromises.

• Many apps (Spotify, Google Maps, Discord, X) aren't optimized for the foldable screen
• Galaxy Z Fold 8 is thinner and more than 20% lighter than the iPhone Duo
• No Face ID; the power-button fingerprint reader has a deliberate delay
• No telephoto camera or ProRes and Log video features like Pro models
