I've waited 5 years for the iPhone Duo — here are 7 reasons I decided not to pre-order

Since the original Samsung Galaxy Z Fold launched, all I've wanted is a foldable iPhone. All along, I've said that once Apple releases one, I'd be lined up on day one to buy it.

The pre-order date came, and I even live-blogged how quickly they were selling out, all while my Apple Card stayed firmly planted in my digital wallet. Something fizzled out in my brain, and I decided this wasn't the right time — or the right phone — for me.

Why the change of heart? At first, I didn't give it much thought, but now that the dust has settled, I've had a chance to look at seven reasons I passed on the iPhone Duo. On their own, none is a true dealbreaker, but together, they were enough to get me to hold off on the phone I've waited more than five years for. At least for now.

This is the big, obvious reason to pass on the iPhone Duo. The phone starts at $1,999 for the base model and goes up from there. I currently own an iPhone 17 Pro Max. It's hard to justify spending around $2,000 when I have a really good, one-year-old device.

Let's be real here: the iPhone 17 Pro Max is still a fantastic phone. 5-star rating in our review , citing its durable design, stellar A19 Pro performance, fantastic 48MP 8x zoom camera, and more as reasons for the high score. And I agree with all of that after using it for a year, which makes it even harder to give up.
