HN Discussion:
  • Enthusiastic about the Duo's design and Apple's new keynote direction under Ternus
  • ~Cautiously optimistic but waiting for later versions before adopting a foldable
  • Foldables are a compromised form factor that serves no clear purpose
  • Price is too high to justify, especially for a first-generation Apple product
  • Hopeful the Duo will push developers to properly support foldable app layouts
