iPhone Duo unboxing videos appear days before launch, with mixed views on crease
Key points
- Unboxing and hands-on videos of the iPhone Duo have appeared online ahead of its official launch this Friday.
- The videos show the retail packaging and the phone in two colors, Star White and Night Sky.
- The foldable ships in its open configuration.
- One video suggests the display has a noticeable weak spot around the hinge when pressure is applied.
- Another set of videos shows the display crease as practically invisible.
Summary
(AI)
The footage comes from early recipients, not from Apple. The videos are on YouTube and were posted before official reviews. AppleInsider said the first reviews are expected shortly, but that the device is hard to buy, so those reviews may not tell buyers much yet.
The coverage disagrees on the crease. AppleInsider described it as practically invisible in the unboxing videos. TrustedReviews pointed to a separate video that it said shows weakness around the hinge under pressure. Notebookcheck said the videos offer another look at the crease without giving a verdict. These are single, unverified clips from early units, so none of this settles how the crease holds up in normal use.
