First Impressions of the iPhone Duo Revealed

Tech media’s initial impressions of the Apple iPhone Duo are remarkably consistent: it may well be the most polished foldable phone to date—capable even of replacing the iPad mini. However, the price tag is steep, starting at $1,999 and reaching $3,199 for the top-tier model.

After testing the Duo at the Apple launch event, Wall Street Journal tech reporter Nicole Nguyen had two immediate thoughts: first, that she might no longer need an iPad mini; and second, the question of whether she would really spend $1,999 on a phone.
