A handful of neat capabilities help Apple's foldable phone feel even more intuitive.

If you’ve managed to snag a shiny new iPhone Duo, congratulations on surviving the scramble to get one. Now the fun begins.

I’ve spent a little over a week with Apple’s first foldable phone, and it has several features that make it feel like a genuinely practical and intuitive device — and with a $1,999 starting price, I’d sure hope so.

What stands out about the Duo is its versatility. Similar to other passport-size folding phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Xiaomi 18 Fold, you can hop between a more compact, 5.4-inch cover screen when sending a text or checking a notification and a wider, 7.6-inch inner display when watching videos, multitasking or scrolling through social media. It’s like a phone-tablet hybrid that fits neatly into a pocket or the palm of your hand.

Details like the matte inner display, which minimizes glare and makes the crease less noticeable, along with seamless software integration across screens give the Duo a distinct character of its own.

Here are four features worth checking out to get the most of your new iPhone Duo. And if you’re still in the market for one, it’s worth checking out carrier and trade-in deals to help bring down the cost (and maybe get the phone earlier than January).

The iPhone Duo’s foldable design and dual screens open up more ways to take pictures. A few handy features let you easily use the 48-megapixel rear cameras for better shots than you’d get with the 12-megapixel cover-screen selfie camera.
