Anyone getting the iPhone Duo

Not ordered a Duo, but do a fair bit of tech procurement - a lot of it from all brands has long lead times atm, including Mac mini’s some Apple laptops. Jan doesn’t seem too bad.

Be interesting to see if it slips or they deliver early and Apple are pessimistic to set expectations.

That said, I ordered a server back in May (nothing too fancy), delivery dates been pushed back a couple of times and now being told December. Madness.
 
£2k for a mobile phone! Not for me thank you :(
 
what is wrong with 2 coco cans and a bit of string. £2k for a phone :runaway::headbang::exit: you can get a decent camera for that with money over for a good lens

I need to get a new iPhone but the Duo is way too expensive. If I wanted that size of screen I'd replace my iPad mini with a new cellular version. An iPhone 8 and iPad mini gives me the same for less albeit in two devices. Is that such a hardship?

But it’s just the same when new camera gear comes out. Some folks would bulk at paying £8000 for a medium format camera but there are also many that are happy to buy them.
 
Neil, you are absolutely right. I'm a gear head, but I'll do it with cameras (to a degree) and have done it in the past with other hobbies, but although I can claim the vat back if I buy it for work use, I can't bring myself to do so. However it does look very nice and my wife wants me to get it!
 
I still miss my 3310!

I agree with your wife :plus1:
 
Now the issue is “ what bloody case do I order”. The 2 x Apple offering don’t look great but I’m sure that over the next 3 months there will be plenty of reviews of this or that case so no need to sweat right now.

I miss my Motorola RAZR :)

EDIT, because I didn't want to derail the thread. I won't be getting one Neil; I loved my flip phones back in the day (RAZR and KRZR), but the new foldables just don't do it for me. I think the main thing I miss is being able to flip them shut to end a call, and you can't do that with the new ones! :D

Not for me either.

I was in Kuala Lumpur last week and went in a couple of Samsung shops. I looked at their folding phones, and all of the display models had started to show wear / surface distortion along the folds...that would play havoc with my OCD!

My mate has an android foldable phone (not sure what model) and it’s also in the back of my mind about the crease as on his phone it’s in your face………
I just like new toys I guess

The benefit isn't reducing two devices down to one it's the fact you can get the benefits of an iPad Mini in your pocket with you all the time which is something an iPad Mini cannot give you.

I'm on my third folding phone now due to age, despite frequent comments about the phones not lasting I've had no issues in that regard. The crease is there if you look for it but in day to day use I don't notice it at all and find the huge amount of space I get in my pocket absolutely fantastic, it makes using a normal phone feel cramped. There's no getting away from the fact they're expensive and they're certainly not for everyone but it's the device I use most in my life which helps justify the cost.
