Apple iPhone Duo review: A first-class foldable
Even though it's heavy and expensive, Apple's first foldable handset is a treat for iPhone users unwilling to switch to Android.
What the coverage shows
All four outlets frame the iPhone Duo as a major, well-received first foldable, with Engadget and Wired both emphasizing that Apple has made a strong debut even if there are tradeoffs. The framing diverges on emphasis: Engadget foregrounds weight, price, and appeal to iPhone users, while Wired stresses how iOS and third-party apps still need time to catch up. 9to5Mac is the only outlet here to add a review headline about the device’s form factor and to run separate pieces on order limits and supply-related context, while CNBC alone ties the launch to demand and domestic component sourcing.
