>>109800691I will buy the Duo, thoughbeit
>>109800691
sorry, I'm gonna buy it
>>109800691It's too expensive I don't see myself wasting 600E on a phonebought refurbished 17e with new battery for 590Ealso tech is not there yetthey made mistake for buying samsung screenI know they were scared of trumps trade war, but should have bought chinese screen instead
>>109800691>>no face IDI am not buying it but desu, that's a plus. I hate FaceID. Fingerprint is the way to go.
>>109800691overpaying for dumb gimmicks is stupidonly reason to buy it is if it gets you into the pants of girls easierotherwise it's a waste
>>109800848>I don't see myself wasting 600E on a phone>bought refurbished 17e with new battery for 590EThis has to be bait
>>109800906It was a typo, I meant more than 600.
>>109800876>be a tradie or doing any physical work. "wait, gotta clean my hands so it can read my fingerprint!!">be a surgeon and want to check the phone until they remove the dildo of Duo owner ass, but without the need to resantize your hands. "opps, can't do that!!">be a driver with mounted phone, you want to unlock it without being distracted. "Not possible, let me remove it, use one hand, unlock, and put it ba.ACK accident!!">be a pilot, same as above, except another 9/11>be out cycling, phone is mounted, try to unlock, end up in the river.>be living in area where it's cold, freezing, want to unlock.

>>109800948meant to this >>109800872
Apple has decidedSay hello to your new foldable phone design.Remote TVs are old, outdated garbage
>>109800948With the fingerprint, you have some legal standing to not allow it to be unlocked against your consent. With FaceID, you don't.FaceID also scans your face every 5 seconds while you're using the phone.
>>109800691>>never buy the first gen of anything, you are labratBut I come into it knowing that. I like seeing the curve.
>>109800691>it's applethe only reason you need
>>109800948>be a fatty eating a burger and all juices are on your hands, want to unlock? How the fuck are you gonna pick the phone up, point it at your face, then navigate it and do anything on it without touching it?Are you retarded?
>>109801555>he never owned an iphoneyou can literally unlock it while it's flat on your desk
>>109801582And what's the point of doing that if you can't touch it at all? What are you even doing?
>>109800691Not buying a folding phone till we invent a bendable transparent material that doesn't scratch and hardness level fingernail
I like that its small. I'd literally never open it.
>>109800691Honestly I will wait and see how early adopters doing with their shitSoft screen with matte coat and stylus support sounds like a recipe for disaster
>>109800948>be surgeon>shitpost on 4chan while performing surgery>mfw I left my iPhone Duo Pro Max Ultra inside some fag's chest cavity>mfw he now reads me my text messages
>>109800691>never buy the first gen of anything, you are labrat, a paying oneActually I agree. Here's the thing though: Samsung did the beta testing for us. Thanks for being the labrats, droidtrannies.>phone case is now two phone cases?i don't use cases.>no face ID, an issue if you are swimming or in cold and have gloves or any situation where FP is not easy to usei don't use faceid or any biometrics>not convenient to mount in the carif you're playing with your phone in the car please crash and die alone>can't use privacy screen protector anymorewhat kind of child porn viewing troon needs one of these>big screen is uselessyeah man big screens are useless very brilliant opinion there>expected issues after years of usage in the hinge or fordable screen, which is ok from apple as you are meant to upgrade every year why shouldn't i? my provider already offers a smooth discounted upgrade path. i end up paying far less than you>weird keyboard layout entirely different of what you used to do in the past 15y or soi have a pc, I don't give a shit about undercaste fags who live their lives on their phone keyboarddamn man you really added negative FUD to this thing. like i wasn't really interested in it to begin with, but you've really made haters look like brown retards
>>109800691Samjeets has really been working overtime since then huh?
Never listen to poorfags.Always do like rich people say, like:>>109800729FPBP
why is every board like this? full of haters and diehard fanboys very few people inbetween.same with /v/ or /p/.Why can't you be normal consumers who don't devote their lives to one brand but instead look critically at everything, weigh the pros and cons and buy what's best for you?
>>109800755for me it's flip phones
>>109805782Do you want the actual answer to this question? It's sincerely because they're incel losers with no personalities. Yes, those dreaded spam-looking buzzwords are true. That's why they act the way they act. They have nothing about themselves that is actually "them", no character or principles or experiences or thoughts that make them up. No people in their lives they have a responsibility towards that keeps them from wasting time spinning their emotional wheels on psychologically damaging obsession loops. Their personality can ONLY come from allegiance to "things". And because their attitudes and behaviors are rooted in fixation on things with no escape from playing out the same rut they're in over and over, it progresses to a religion, and they react with genuine shock and trauma when criticized or countered by any competing pseudo-opinion. It's not merely that they have strong preferences, even the act of having to articulate why they hold those ideas and have a sincere discussion on comparative qualities causes emotional distress because it exposes the hollowness of the beliefs and how ludicrous it is they hold such vaulted places in their psyche. I'm not memeing or being overly dramatic at all when I say operate according to the same mental pathologies as, say, sunni and shi'ites, or any other hyper zealous dogma. The circuitry is always present, this is how it dominates the mind of those who can't handle the ego shock of examining themselves.
>>109800691>as expect to have hordes of them now making the same deviceYou know that other brands have been making foldables for almost 8 years right? Saumsung and Huawei dropped their in early 2019.
>>109805911
>>109800691>CleavageI'm sold
>>109805920>androidcentral
>>109801761Nta but you can operate your phone with your knuckles. You can't unlock it with them though. Maybe you can idk. I don't use any biometric unlocking. That's just gay.
>>109800691I don't really get the point of folds that are squarish when unfolded. Tri-folds are interesting, but seem very undercooked for now.
>>109805991who else also use their knuckles on atm/fast food kiosks
>>109800691Apple sheep are going to buy, they'll buy anything with an Apple logo, this has been provenNon Apple sheep are not going to buy it, it is that simple.
>>109806074>seethes, fumes, hyperventilates about other people having money and buying things with itkek
>>109805994Yes, where did you get your engineering degree?
>>109800691>>expected issues after years of usage in the hinge or fordable screen, which is ok from apple as you are meant to upgrade every yearnot an apple sucker but that much is bullshitthey want you to replace your phone about every 5 years as that's the software/hardware support cycle and the changes are so incremental it doesn't make any sense to switch phone every year unless you really care about that one new important feature they add every, say, 3 years like siri, AI, face id, 5G support etc
>>109806078>Spending $2500 on a phone>Not putting it in an investment vehicle This is why you're poor, Raji. Save your Rupees and you can move to New Deli one day
>>109806103Warsaw University of Technology, why?
>>109806117I'm not the one shill posting from India though, that's you, Raji.
>>109806122I actually can't grasp how a person can be so mentally ill he's not only poor but has to pretend like this.I live in Tokyo, and you'll still be poor tomorrow. Of what purpose is "b-b-but i bet you live somewhere else"? If you have enough energy to play pretend on guessing where the people bullying you live, why don't you just pretend not to be poor?
>>109806135>I live in Tokyo Except you don't, Raji. You live in rural India with big dreams to move to New Deli and getting a call center job. >Bullying You're not bullying, Raji. You're just wish-posting. You don't even have enough rupees for a low end android much less an iToy, and that's ok!
another downside is there's gonna be a shitton of apps that aren't optimized for the foldable form factor with black bars, badly scaled ui etc.
>>109806170>Except you don't,And so if I proved that I did, how utterly destroyed would that make you?Think about it anon, you literally just opened yourself up for anal devastation. It's insanely foolish, because with no effort at all I can destroy everything you're trying to pretend, where as you can do NOTHING to **stop being poor**. You will be as much a miserable loser tomorrow as you are today. Every day, just the same thing for you.
>>109806360Go ahead and AI generate some "proof," Raji. We'll wait.
>>109806366You didn't answer the question. Make it worth my time: What will it do to you once you see real incontrovertible truth? Is your brain developed enough to even be able to consider the possibility? Your entire ridiculous cope poorfag argument depends on me not actually being in Japan. That's the lynchpin that if pulled will cause your entire ego to collapse. What's your recourse when that happens? If I'm going to waste time skirting opsec just to destroy you (which I am more than willing to do), I want to be able to see the effects on your face. I want to watch you as you can no longer escape from the reality that you will be as much an incel poorfag tomorrow as you are today.Answer the question, and we'll move on to the next step.
>>109806395>Go ahead and AI generate some "proof," Raji. We'll wait.
>>109806407Why are you avoiding the question? Gee, I wonder.
>>109800691why you should buy duo>pisses op off
>>109806443Not a bad reason, 2k or whatever's a drop in the bucket.
Why would I ever buy an iphone of any kind?
>>109805991I can also input my password/PIN with my knuckle. How is this an argument for FaceID.
>>109806407>Go ahead and AI generate some "proof," Raji. We'll wait.>Go ahead and AI generate some "proof," Raji. We'll wait.>Go ahead and AI generate some "proof," Raji. We'll wait.

>>109800691> its only feature is that it folds in halfwho the fuck gives a shit? why do people not tell these companies to fuck off with their lame useless shit? it's not like it does anything faster or better. just folds in half. that's its feature. it folds. like a folder you put papers in. totally and utterly unremarkable in any way.the world has gone full retard.
>>109806848Just save your SNAP bux, bro. You'll have enough you can launder into cash and get one too!
an android trifold clears this junk
>>109800691>>overly expensiveBut if Samsung is considered the "mature" option its pricing is almost the same. Saving $100 for a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is only 5% of the price of the iPhone Duo.
I am not completely sold with this form factor. As someone who owns a ZF7 and tried the ZF8 I don't like it. Maybe Apple can pull it off but I am expecting them to make a 'Max' variant of this device. Maybe not call it Max since that belongs to the Pro mine. Something like iPhone Big Duo.
uh oh>>109808539
>>109800691I just Hope the Duo coming out makes the Android ones, especially used, even cheaper. I'll finally get my Z Fold 3.
>>109806109>they want you to replace your phone about every 5 yearsthey want you to buy new thing as soon as new thing comes out, period
>>109800691all of these are shitroid sour grapesthe real reason is that ios esim handover is only on t-mobile and $5/mo, so on mint mobile I can't yet have duo as a travel phone and a home phablet and air as day to day phone, and have same phone number of bothwhen the MNO fucks are going to roll out esim handover properly (and not charge $5/mo for it) I'll get duo immediately
>>109805911>always placing your phone down on the screenlol, I hate the modern age
do you actually own iphones yet or are tehy still just expensive rentals?
>>109811540if that was the case, there would be just 1 year of software support like on some shitty androids
>>109805447>I>i>Actually I>i
>>109800691The first gen is the Samsung product, Apple let them make all the mistakes then release a product that is refined over years and simply better.
>>109800691>using face idwhat the fuck is wrong with you
Apple making a bigger Duo for $2500-$2700 for 2027 anyways. The potential name might be Duo max or Big Duo.
>>109800691Not buying (yet) but>>overly expensive True but unless you're a turbo retard who upgrades every year it's whatever>>never buy the first gen of anything, you are labrat, a paying one True>>no telephotoCamera is the main reason I'm skipping it in fact>>cleavage wat>>phone case is now two phone casesWho gives a shit, imagine using a cover in the first place>>no face ID, an issue if you are swimming or in cold and have gloves or any situation where FP is not easy to useSecond reason why I'm not getting it, though apparently if you wear an Apple Watch it uses that for the unlock>>not convenient to mount in the carOh no what a nightmare!>>can't use privacy screen protector anymoreDo people actually use them?>>big screen is useless for anything but only for muh media consumption brainrotTerrible take>>expected issues after years of usage in the hinge or fordable screen, which is ok from apple as you are meant to upgrade every year AppleCare+ and you're covered>>weird keyboard layout entirely different of what you used to do in the past 15y or soCan't answer to that without having tried it first
>>109814905I'll probably get it; I can just sell my ZF8 and lose only a few hundred dollars. With the difference, I can get the 256GB for only $700 out of pocket.
>>109800691It's junk bro if it was good Tim Cook wouldn't have resigned from being CEO and they would have skipped the iphone 18 update this year and only focused on marketing this foldable phone.
>>109813300Supporting older products in no way means a company doesn't want people to buy New Thing on release
>>109806848you're about to get 5k for voting republican
>>109801094the bitter truth is, any other android OEMs will imitate Apple. period>>109800906>17eif you own an iPad, especially iPad Pro. You don't need iPhone higher than entry-level SE or XXe series.treat your iPhone as low-end feature phone for actual cell phone usage + minimum necessity apps while divert any feature shenanigans to iPad
>>109814845If they don't call it the Dudoo, they will fail.
the duo looks lowkirkenuinely firei am trading in my 17 pro for itcant wait to actually have an ipad screen with me at all times, might as well use my phone for note taking in college
>>109800691>Why you should NOT buy duoits apple
>>109800948>>be a tradie or doing any physical work. "wait, gotta clean my hands so it can read my fingerprint!!"I am a tradie and never have this issue.

>>109800691>release phone with two screens and a folding piece>not just releasing an iPhone air with screens on both sidesfolding phones are a major step back because I have to do an additional action if I pick the phone up the wrong way, why can't I just pick the phone up and have it operate the same way without having to flip it over?
>>109800691>Why you should NOT buy duoBecause I don't need a TV, I already have a UMPC.
>>109819513Holy shit, this is literally the dumbest idea I’ve heard in a looooong time
Sorry bros, I haven't left the iPhone life in over a decade and I get to relive my 3/DS life with the Duo. I need it. Even better the screen is big enough to read books on it.
>>109818013>iPadwhich one tho? smol or big? with or without keyboard
Thickest veiled shill thread on /g/.
im waiting for motorola's passport foldable
>>109800755/g/ays can use this because they have no friends and no job. I know that's harsh but look in the mirror sometime.
>>109800691I don't need a +$2000 folding phonea regular phone is more than enough for me
>>109823192Oh, don’t worry, it’s coming, just as soon as LG releases their folding phone.
>>109823275What price is a “needed” phone?
>>109801582Don't you still have to swipe up in order to actually open and use it? In the few times I've used a face ID iPhone all my face did was "unlock" it but all that did was unhide the notifications. For iPhones at least, unlocking =! opening
>>109826454>t. never touched an iPhone
>>109826918Care to explain how it actually functions?
>>109826922Unlocking the phone unlocks the phone. There is no second lock that prevents you from using it after you unlock it.
>>109826943You bring your face to the phone and it unlocks but it doesn't open the phone. After it unlocks you have to swipe up in order to actually access the apps and such. If you don't swipe then whatever notifications you had hidden become unhidden on the lock screen. That's at least high recall using it whenever my brother let me dick around with his phone a while back.
>>109826988>the phone does nothing if you don’t touch it Holy fucking shit

>>109800691>>no telephotobiggest drawback for me
>>109827080True. In recent times (basically since they switched off of LCD screens) it's all been Samsung or iPhone though.Samsung is probably the single most important supplier for Apple. Without them there would be no iPhone. They can find alternative suppliers but probably the quality would be shit. They use Samsung because they have no option but to.

Paid Apple marketing shilling is off the charts on this board. Do they think anyone here actually listens to them?
>>109801143>with faceid you don'tManually lock the phone which forces a pin unlock in any scenario where you encounter law enforcement.That's power + volume up. Next unlock will require pin.
>>109830513Should say you have to hold it for a bit otherwise that's just screenshot.
>>109800691the asymmetry of the screen when its closed really bothers me. I bet the faggots at Apple deliberately sacrifices the usability to set itself apart from other folds, the same way they did with the camera notch
