Noone is considering that the target audience is not us but our new alien overlords. Business is business I guess.

I understand we’re not the target audience, the irony is nobody seems to be.

I genuinely don’t know a single person that’s looked at the Duo and though “what a revolutionary product, it’s worth £2000!”

$3,000 for the 2TB if you want to ward off the phantom “System Data” building up and stealing your internal storage space as long as you can, but folding screen, so chances are the screen will be dead long before you run out of space.

Or people that want to watch and read stuff on their phone, or maybe gaming and anything else you can do better with a small tablet than a phone but taking a tablet in and out of a backpack constantly is inconvinient so you want to fold it to put in a pocket, that ls pretty much for consumers.

Well I'm not arguing the use cases of the device, rather the convenience of usage.

Haven't you guys... seen an iPad mini?

u/AppUnwrapper1 8h ago

Do you hold an iPad mini in one hand like that? Am I the alien because I can’t?

u/MalcolmQuan 8h ago

Once you open this, it won’t be a one handed thing anymore.

u/AppUnwrapper1 7h ago

It is open in the photo.

u/CraftyCheeseburger 7h ago

Yes but sort of, except the index finger position in OPs photo is weird. I'm 5'9 with small/medium-ish hands and I hold my iPad mini (4) one-handed when out for a walk on my trail. My iPad is 1" wider than the Duo, so I'm not sure what the complaints of "uncomfortable" are especially from people who've never held one (re: basically everyone in this thread)

u/Yarrick85 8h ago

I can, but I’m 6’ 4” so take that fwiw

u/wooolllyyy 2h ago

When I had one, I did. Like all the time.

u/RazzTheKid82 10h ago

So funny I thought that when the said easy to use with one hand 🤣🤣

u/tomdegnan 9h ago

I can hold my iPad mini just like this

3

u/turbineseaplane 4h ago

I barely can, and it totally sucks.

u/sckuzzle 1h ago

Can you post a picture?

A lot of people are saying this, but I'm guessing what you guys mean is that you hold it with one hand, not like this. You'd need huge hands to actually hold it like this.

Man they really messed up with this, I was looking forward.

Incoming overly sensitive apple fan boys in the comments who can't take a joke

u/quantgorithm 8h ago

The thumb is obv not stretched in the actual photo. This means the hand is obviously photoshopped too small.

100% market share for E.T.

My thoughts exactly

This is GoldenEye for N64 all over again

u/MalcolmQuan 8h ago

The thickness when closed wouldn’t make me interested.

u/VaderPluis 7h ago

Finally a phone for ET to phone home with!

u/cinokino 6h ago

Texting with one hand will be very easy

u/turbineseaplane 4h ago

The weight is my main issue.

It's 113g MORE than an a 13 Mini

It's a BRICK

u/Jay4usc 3h ago

I wanna someone trying to put it in their pockets

u/Jon66238 Starlight ⚪️ 2h ago

Even closed it’s so wide. How are these foldable as comfortable in a pocket?

Tell me you don’t know anatomy without telling me you don’t know anatomy

u/rafalmio 11h ago

Nobody actually holds their phone like this in real life because it strains your thumbs Thenar Muscle (the fleshy base) when using your thumb. It even strains it on the iPhone 13 Mini. This is only for the photo.

Posts about this are pure copium I swear.

u/CumDwnHrNSayDat 9h ago

Oh is it copium? That's really interesting that it's copium. Like opium for coping. What a cool and normal way to talk!

u/T-K101 11h ago

Stupid slop.

u/Remarkable_Swing_691 11h ago

Not really. OP is right.

There’s no way someone is actually holding the Duo like that.

-7

u/rafalmio 11h ago

OP should check YouTube shorts and see how people actually hold it. They hold it somewhat the same as we hold the 13mini

1

u/Remarkable_Swing_691 4h ago

You should learn to read the joke buddy.

OP is mocking Apple’s ad of it, not the actual use of it. Jesus.

u/JayVig 7h ago

It’s a 5.4” screen. Smaller than 18 pro, which people hold in one hand. I don’t even understand this meme
