Apple's iPhone Duo has been my main phone for a month. I switched from the iPhone 17 Pro Max (I only tested the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max for a week), set up all my apps (including online banking and other finance apps, which typically require a more complicated setup) on the Duo, and put my other phones in a drawer.

This is a different type of test than a typical phone review. When you're writing a review, you're looking for the new and exciting. Once you've switched to a new phone entirely, you're looking for apps that don't work and annoyances that can't be fixed. Had I found enough of these, I would've gone back to the Pro.

But I feel zero desire to do so. The iPhone Duo has plenty of quirks, but none that would make me go back. In fact, I dread the moment when I'll have to go back to a regular-sized phone to do a review. The iPhone Duo is a game-changer for me. I am now a foldable phone guy.

For my detailed review of the iPhone Duo, go here. In this article, I'll skip the details and highlight the interesting bits.

My iPhone Duo works just as well as it did on the first day. I know that some unlucky folks have had screen trouble , but I haven't had anything of the sort so far. The dreaded crease is still barely visible. The hinge works smoothly. In fact, the only real trouble I've had with the Duo has been grease buildup on the inner display, which appears near-impossible to remove (but is, fortunately, invisible most of the time).
