Apple iPhone Duo - 24 Hours Later Rant
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:33Carter likes the Duo but says it lacks the appeal that makes him keep using other foldables.
- 4:28His hardware complaints begin with the missing Action Button, followed by the absence of face unlock.
- 15:10Gmail, Google Maps and YouTube Studio show thick black sidebars on the cover screen.
- 20:43Split-screen testing exposes limits compared with Samsung's resizing options and three-app multitasking.
- 27:16Netflix testing brings software problems in Flex and Tent modes.
- 32:25Battery life earns praise, with Carter calling it a particular strength of Apple's phones.
Gmail opens with thick black sidebars. Split-screen controls offer less flexibility than Flossy Carter wants. For his iPhone Duo follow-up, the question isn't simply whether Apple's phone folds, but how much useful space that fold actually buys him.
"Apple iPhone Duo - 24 Hours Later Rant " drew more than 2,300 comments in its first day, against a usual couple hundred. Viewing was ordinary for his channel; the conversation was not.
After the first impressions we covered here, Carter gets into the daily friction. He demonstrates cramped-looking apps on the cover display, then compares the Duo's multitasking with the resizing and three-app arrangements available on Samsung Galaxy devices. Attempts to use Netflix in Flex and Tent modes bring further software complaints. Threads, however, gets credit for fitting the cover screen without those awkward bars.
The comments have their own recurring subjects. Viewers turn screen-crease scrutiny into a running joke, point out White Shoes' presence beside the phones and treat the word "rant" as advance warning. One jokes about agreeing with the entire lengthy review before enough time has passed to finish it. Another remembers watching Carter back in the Galaxy Note 4 days.
Carter also explains why his unboxings aren't polished tours through instructions: he wants to explore a device without guides or other reviews steering him. That leaves room for discoveries and frustrations alike.
And the rant isn't all rejection. He singles out battery life as Apple's standout strength, praising both the Duo and the iPhone 18 Pro Max even while finding the folding experience harder to recommend wholeheartedly.

@AggressivelyAverageSee it on YouTubewatching flossy's videos saves me ton of money - i get the 'high' of purchasing a new device without paying for it and ending up with buyer's regret.
