I suspect I would get greater value by simply duct-taping two iPhones together into a fold.

The two batteries inside the Duo will allow longer usage.

from the Duo page:

- Up to 31 hours video playback when using the inner display

- Up to 44 hours video playback when using the outer display

  • You can run one iphone at a time and lap the duo. 64gb iphone SE is going for $140 at best buy right now. I could tape up 10 of them into a jacobs ladder then I'd have 640gb of storage and maybe 10x the battery life of the duo, and money to spare for future expansion iphones.

    • You could tape 10 Ford Fiestas together but it doesn't mean it laps a Mustang it means you were fine with what the Fiesta could do which, honestly, most people probably (very reasonably) are.

  • I was a bit disappointed in these numbers because, despite having two batteries and the outer display being smaller, the Duo still has 1 less hour of video playback on the outer display than the iPhone 18 Pro Max.
