Apple's iPhone Duo Faces Criticism Over High Price and Feature Omissions
Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo, priced at around Rs 2.9 lakh in India, has drawn criticism for omitting features like Face ID, a telephoto camera, and MagSafe wallet support. The device replaces Face ID with Touch ID and lacks physical SIM support, offering a smaller outer display and visible screen crease. While Apple aims to blend phone and tablet experiences, experts and reviewers question if the high price justifies these compromises compared to the iPhone 18 Pro models and competitors like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8.
