Apple’s First Folding Phone Opens With a Strong 80 on PixelMeter

The Apple iPhone Duo reviews embargo lifted this morning and the consensus is in: while it’s got first-generation product quirks, it provides an overall positive experience.

Those who are more mixed on it lean into issues with compatibility.

“It’s incomplete as a product, but complete enough as an idea that you can see where things are going,” The Verge writes. “After 20 years of iPhones that look mostly the same, it’s exciting to see Apple chart a new course. But the Duo is still one of the most early adopter Apple products I’ve tested in a long time,” Joanna Stern adds.

But those who like it, really seem to like it.

“The iPhone Duo is the best designed foldable phone I’ve ever tested, Mark Spoonauer writes on Tom’s Guide. “The Apple iPhone Duo arrives as a fully realized folding smartphone from a company that, perhaps smartly, sat back and watched a category stumble, grow, develop, and solidify into a desirable form factor,” TechRadar‘s Lance Ulanoff gushes.
