Hands-on videos posted ahead of iPhone Duo’s October debut show how Apple’s foldable-style model handles typing, multitasking, reading, cameras and gaming.
A split keyboard appears in horizontal mode on the folding display, while testers said one-handed typing on the outer screen and vertical typing when unfolded felt easier than expected.
Landscape use brings an iPad-like layout, with content on the right and sidebars on the left, giving the clearest look yet at Duo’s multitasking approach.
Other demos show a partly folded book-reading mode with page-flip animation, plus camera features that early testers have responded to positively.
