The Verge 的 Dan 介绍了苹果公司的新款折叠手机 iPhone Duo，深入探讨了它的设计、功能和定价。这款创新设备拥有双显示屏配置、先进的铰链机制，以及一系列为折叠形态量身定制的软件功能。 iPhone Duo 配备了一个 5.4 英寸的外屏，苹果公司表示，该屏幕覆盖了 iPhone 18 Pro 90% 的可视面积。展开后，用户会看到一个更大的 7.6 英寸内屏。这款内屏的一个显著特点是其哑光表面，通过纳米纹理涂层实现。这个哑光显示屏初次见到时被描述为“非常令人惊讶”。 iPhone Duo 设计的核心是其精密的铰链，由 100 个内部组件构成。苹果公司声称，这个铰链使得屏幕“感知上是平坦的”，这意味着折痕不可见。然而，Dan 指出，尽管在视觉上无法察觉，但仔细检查时，折痕是绝对可以摸到的。 这款手机配备了许多旨在利用其可折叠特性的功能。最重要的是，它支持同时运行两个应用程序，从而提高生产力。例如，用户可以同时操作两个 Safari 窗口。整个设备都能适应其物理位置，支持多种模式，例如待机模式和意图模式，并允许自定义小组件。苹果公司强调了它作为闹钟的用途，各种闹钟应用程序能够利用屏幕点亮并唤醒用户。 iPhone Duo 的安全性由位于设备侧面的 Touch ID 传感器处理，因为没有 Face ID。至于成像，包含了一个“人物居中”摄像头。在折叠和展开过程中会产生一个有趣的视觉效果：当手机折叠时，被折叠的一侧会模糊化，将焦点转移到剩余的显示屏上。相反地，展开手机时，模糊的一侧会再次清晰，营造出一种动态的视觉过渡效果。 摄像头系统还提供了独特的功能。一个名为“Duo 预览”的功能允许用户看到自己，在摄像头激活时，有效地将显示屏变成一个取景器。当摄像头应用程序最小化时，它的图标被设计成出现在“摄像头镜头下方”，使得它们“基本不引人注目”。另一个创新的摄像头功能是“KidQ”，激活后，它会在屏幕上播放“史努比”，以在拍照时让孩子们保持专注并看向摄像头——这一功能被描述为“相当滑稽和精彩”。 娱乐功能也针对可折叠设计进行了定制。在 iPhone Duo 上打开 Netflix，会出现一个“Netflix 的 TikTok 模式”。当手机完全打开时，Netflix 会在更大的内屏上播放视频。此外，用户可以旋转手机，在一个屏幕上播放 Netflix，同时在底部屏幕上显示大尺寸控制按钮，提供多功能的观看体验。 iPhone Duo 将于 10 月 16 日开始接受订购，并于 10 月 23 日开始发货。这款苹果新设备的定价起步为 256 GB 版本 2000 美元。对于那些想要最大存储空间的用户，顶级 2 TB 版本的价格为 3200 美元，Dan 形容这个价格“离谱”。尽管价格高昂，Dan 总结说，“很多人会喜欢这个东西”，承认了它创新但昂贵的本质。

Dan with The Verge introduced Apple's new folding phone, the iPhone Duo, offering an in-depth look at its design, features, and pricing. This innovative device boasts a dual-display setup, an advanced hinge mechanism, and a host of software functionalities tailored for a foldable form factor. The iPhone Duo features a 5.4-inch outer display, which Apple states covers 90% of the viewable area found on the iPhone 18 Pro. Upon unfolding, users are greeted by a larger 7.6-inch inner display. A notable characteristic of this internal screen is its matte finish, achieved through a nanotexture coating. This matte display is described as "really surprising" upon first seeing it. Central to the iPhone Duo's design is its sophisticated hinge, composed of 100 internal components. Apple claims this hinge renders the screen "perceptually flat," meaning a crease isn't visible. However, Dan notes that while visually undetectable, a crease can definitely be felt upon closer inspection. The phone is packed with numerous features designed to leverage its foldable nature. Most significantly, it supports running two applications simultaneously, enhancing productivity. For instance, users can operate two Safari windows concurrently. The entire device is adaptive to its physical position, enabling various modes such as standby mode and intent mode, and allowing for the customization of widgets. Apple highlights its use as an alarm clock, with various alarm clock applications capable of utilizing the screen to light up and wake the user. Security on the iPhone Duo is handled by a Touch ID sensor located on the side of the device, as Face ID is not present. For imaging, a center stage camera is included. An intriguing visual effect occurs during folding and unfolding: when the phone is folded, the side being folded blurs out, shifting focus to the remaining display. Conversely, opening the phone blurs the side back in, creating a dynamic visual transition. The camera system also offers unique functionalities. A "Duo Preview" feature allows users to see themselves, effectively turning the display into a viewfinder when the camera is active. When the camera application is minimized, its icons are designed to appear "under the camera lens," making them "basically not noticeable." Another innovative camera feature is "KidQ," which, when activated, plays "Snoopy" on the screen to keep children engaged and looking at the camera while a photo is being taken – a feature described as "pretty hilarious and wonderful." Entertainment features are also tailored for the foldable design. Opening Netflix on the iPhone Duo reveals a "Netflix's TikTok mode." When the phone is fully opened, Netflix plays video across the larger internal screen. Furthermore, users can rotate the phone to play Netflix on one screen while displaying large controls on the bottom screen, offering a versatile viewing experience. The iPhone Duo is set to be available for order starting October 16th, with shipping commencing on October 23rd. Pricing for this new Apple device begins at $2,000 for the 256-gigabyte version. For those desiring maximum storage, the top-end 2-terabyte version is priced at $3,200, a cost Dan describes as "bananas." Despite its high price point, Dan concludes that "a lot of people are going to be into this thing," acknowledging its innovative yet expensive nature.
