Apple’s folding iPhone on the weighing scale; From holding a new feeling to fighting with iPhone 17 Pro Max
“I guess I’ll just go back to my old iPhone!” I confess that during my five-day vacation with iPhone Duo New, I’ve said this many times after encountering frustrations like apps not launching, unknown gestures (back to the fingerprint sensor or Touch ID, ugh!), and camera concerns that caused me to carry two phones around. But when the trip was over, I didn’t want to go back to my previous iPhone!
According to the report of the technology news section of Zoom Tech, quoted by (TechCrunch), when for the first time iPhone Doo Take a deposit sample from the side Apple I just unboxed it, I was really intrigued by it. I had a special feeling of excitement when I peeled off the factory sealing labels and turned on the device. In retrospect, this may have been the first sign that it proved iPhone Duo It will eventually get my attention.
As a tech reporter, I’ve received a lot of test devices over the years, so unfortunately unboxing a new gadget just doesn’t have the thrill it used to. But a few days before the release date iPhone DooI realized I really wanted one of those; I started calculating costs and comparing upgrade options to see how I could afford the phone’s $2,000 price tag. I even started scrolling through Tik Tok review videos of iPhone Duo cases. My hesitation was not just because of the price, but the migration to iPhone Doo It was a big change – especially after using iPhone 17 Pro Max. These two phones could not be more different.
Because when arriving iPhone Doo I was about to go on a trip, I decided iPhone 17 Pro Max I also carry myself as a rescue tour. But finally during the trip more than iPhone Doo I used it and despite some problems, I gradually felt comfortable with it.
design, resistance and durability against falling; Is the first foldable iPhone fragile?
There’s always a psychological cost when switching phones, especially when going from a high-end flagship to a more experimental device iPhone Doo you migrate For someone who is used to the iPhone’s years of technology and its rectangular and narrow shape, the short, wide and completely new look iPhone Doo At first it was a bit overwhelming.
I was thinking to myself, “So where is that big screen space I had? Does this device even fit easily in my pocket? But it was found that it fits; In both front and back pockets, even when the frame is on. You can sit with the phone in your back pocket and crush it without it breaking! (I meant to be more careful, but forgot many times because I have a habit of putting the phone in my back pocket when I walk. I sat on the phone countless times and it turns out it’s not that fragile at all).
I also dropped the phone (completely by accident!) at least three times. Twice from the height of the table and once when he was thrown down from the side of the bed. The phone did not fall on the soft carpet, but on concrete, ceramic and wooden floors. None of these falls broke the phone or cracked the screen. I wouldn’t call these professional drop tests, but it was definitely a big relief for a distracted person like me.
software bugs and unoptimized applications; The challenges of the first days
Of course, I also faced some disappointments. Because of the small external screen iPhone DooI had to scroll more to read the messages; Unoptimized apps with multiple controls sometimes hid their key features in the three-dot menu, forcing you to search to find the option you wanted; And in several cases, the program Google Search It was completely hanging.
Although this is the fault Apple No, but this Google software problem was my biggest worry, because Search It is one of my main apps especially when I travel. On vacation, I opened the app many times to search for attractions, restaurant reviews, distances between cities, weather, and more. But the program Google It would crash and the back button wouldn’t react.
This seemed like a peculiar problem AI Mode be in the search program; A mode that you often enter these days without asking. The temporary solution was to force close the program (Force Close) so that the next time you open it, you will return to the main screen. It’s surprising to me that at a time when Google is facing declining search share due to AI, it’s a priority to make your app work on the latest device. Apple Do not believe!
Additionally, many early reviews noted how many apps at launch for iPhone Doo have not been updated or redesigned; An issue that caused a black bar to be placed on the side of the screen when the phone was closed and narrowed the limited space of the screen. This is true, but from my personal point of view, it is a reason to refuse to immigrate to iPhone Doo was not
On the one hand, companies update optimized for iPhone Doo They publish relatively quickly. The ones that aren’t optimized are still usable, they just look a little ugly! for example, Google Maps During the trip for iPhone Doo It wasn’t optimized, but I had no problems using it for navigation, local search, and route planning.
Say goodbye to Face ID and return to Touch ID; The biggest weakness of iPhone Duo
with those of absence Face ID They complained, I completely agree. This is the biggest weakness iPhone Doo is No screen, no camera and no Action Button. The main problem Touch ID is!
It is much easier to look at the phone than to manipulate and press the finger. While I was easily able to use the need Touch ID I avoid to unlock the device (because almost always Apple Watch I have it on hand which acts as an alternative authentication method), but when using apps and Apple Pay I got into trouble many times.
Tap-and-pay is one area where it stands out immediately Face ID How much it made everyday work smoother. Back to Touch ID It was cumbersome when paying, as you’re often holding a shopping bag, purse or dog collar in addition to the phone you’re paying with.
There is a kind of “muscle memory” that occurs when returning to Touch ID You have to overcome it. I found the easiest way to hold the phone is to hold it in your hand and use your thumb for authentication. But where I frequently went wrong was forgetting to keep my thumb on the sensor Touch ID It was long enough. Sometimes my finger didn’t fit right and I had to readjust. I complained several times during checkout that “I miss Face ID!”
iPhone 12 camera review compared to iPhone 17 Pro Max
Another reason to be cautious about iPhone Doo what is it Its camera. About the weaker camera system iPhone Doo Much has been said. iPhone Doo Instead of three cameras, the iPhone 17 Pro Max has two rear cameras. It does not have a telephoto lens. It has 10x digital zoom, while the Pro version offers 40x zoom. The Pro version has more advanced hardware for shooting in low light and from ProRAW and ProRes supports
Simply put: If you’re an iPhone photographer or content creator, you shouldn’t be iPhone Doo Consider it as your primary device. But for us common people, the camera iPhone Doo it is good Not perfect, but it works. The photos you capture are perfect for Instagram stories, Facebook, or capturing memories in the photo widget, none of which require a pro-level camera.
Image processing iPhone Doo It can sometimes make fine details like leaves on trees look over-processed, while distant landscapes can look flatter. However, for everyday use and casual photography, it has an acceptable performance.
Why should we buy iPhone Doo? The magic of the Apple folding phone
But why should you buy this phone? The answer is simple: this is a foldable phone (Foldable iPhone) from Apple is! First, folding phones have a special charm and fantasy that normal phones will never have. Developers are also clearly enjoying making apps for this new format. Plus, watching movies on it is great, especially with the special Duo Folio case that comes with a kickstand.
Second, this is a foldable phone Apple is The company has taken its time to get it right; A theme that can be seen in the details, from the slight crease line to the uniform aspect ratio between the screens. Also placement in the software ecosystem Apple It is very important for those who switch between different devices and services of this company.
But a small confession: in everyday life, as much as I thought iPhone Doo I did not open it! There are two reasons for this:
- General attention: Opening the device in public places attracts attention and looks like bragging; I didn’t always have time to talk to others! Of course, during the trip I talked to at least half a dozen strangers about this phone and even gave them the device to open and close it. The display of Snoopy (Kid Cue) animations on the outside screen to attract children’s attention while taking pictures was very welcome. The general reaction to the opened page was that the hinge line was not visible at all! Also, the nanoxy matte finish of the inner screen, which reduces light reflection, was highly praised.
- More informed communication with the phone: Opening the flip phone is like starting a session of conscious screen usage. When I open the phone now it’s because I’m actually doing something like watching a series on Netflix or using a feature. Multitasking and Split-Screen I am
summary; When the iPhone 2016 changes your digital behavior
With a small screen in closed mode, I’m less drawn to time-wasting apps like TikTok, Instagram, or casual games. For years, phones have gotten bigger, taller, and slimmer, immersing us in our digital world with ease. But in iPhone Doothe design style is such that it stops the way we are effortlessly attracted by the smartphone.
in fact, iPhone Doo It’s a device you open when you have a reason to use it, not something you instinctively reach for out of boredom or when you have a few minutes to spare. Because the best usage modes are when the phone is unlocked, and unlocking is something you do carefully, using the device becomes more conscious.
This is not a bad thing at all and fits the nostalgic wave of retro technologies. For this reason, despite all its flaws, iPhone Doo It caught my attention. It’s fun and engaging – a smartphone that I enjoyed holding, but was also easier to put down!
