That’s not a killer use case, that’s just running two apps next to each other. There are tons of phones and tablets that can do that.

I want to know why I want my phone to cost twice as much and have a dozen delicate moving parts in order to fold. Like the movie quote: “sell me this pen”. I’m waiting for someone to sell me a folding phone. I thought Apple would be able to do it, but they haven’t even tried.

But they aren't iPhones.

Running two apps next to each other isn't practical on a normal sized phone. That's why the Duo folds out into a larger screen.

Use an iPad. For the price of a duo you can purchase an iPad Air and an iPhone, even more screens, you can run even more apps next to each other. And the iPad can extend its screen to a normal display if you want to run even more apps.

		Yea but, a foldable is way more portable and I'll have it with me always. It will be a nice mobile productivity boost for me.

		But once you add the price of cargo pants it's a wash tho.
