ZONEofTECH turns the iPhone Duo into a pocket tablet

Apple's foldable gets an early hands-on preview, with split-screen apps and a desk-clock mode among the demonstrations.

iPhone Duo EARLY Look - 3 Things I Love!

The size is the surprise. ZONEofTECH's Daniel compares the iPhone Duo to an iPad mini when open and an iPhone 13 mini when closed, then demonstrates how that folding screen changes jobs.

He opens it in landscape for video, turns it upright for reading and runs apps side by side. Partly folded, it becomes its own stand, displaying a desk clock or playing media without being propped against something else.

Apple provided early access to the phone for "iPhone Duo EARLY Look - 3 Things I Love!" The Short had drawn about 55,000 views in 16 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day Shorts audience.

Daniel's other big talking point is how it feels. He highlights the polished titanium frame and glass screen texture, calling it the most premium-feeling foldable he has used. The screen crease, he says, is "practically invisible." Those are his hands-on impressions, rather than findings from a longer durability test.

The comments bring the pocket-size comparison back down to earth: one viewer disputes the mini resemblance, while another wishes the folded phone were the size of an iPhone 7. Others discuss color choices, delivery dates and whether their existing iPhones need replacing at all. One viewer is still watching quite happily on an iPhone XS.
