Nothing CEO Carl Pei Criticizes Apple's $2,000 Foldable iPhone Duo FeaturesPreviousNext

Nothing CEO Carl Pei criticized Apple's new foldable iPhone Duo, calling it a "waste of money" due to its $2,000 price and missing features. Pei highlighted the absence of a dedicated telephoto camera, Face ID, and advanced photo capabilities, questioning the value for premium buyers. Apple’s foldable design prioritizes slimness, which may have led to hardware compromises. The device has received positive initial responses, but Pei’s comments reflect concerns about its camera system and biometric authentication.
