The primary advantage of a foldable smartphone lies in the expanded display area, which enables robust multitasking features that are either impossible or cumbersome on standard devices. According to reports from The Verge, Apple avoided simply porting its existing mobile operating system to the new hardware, recognizing the need for a more deliberate approach.
Instead of building from the ground up, the tech giant adapted technology already present in iPadOS. The company noted that the iPhone Duo was engineered to offer an experience “as natural and intuitive as an iPad,” signaling a strategic shift toward integrating proven tablet-style functionality into its foldable phone form factor.
The natural transition from phone to tablet mode sounds promising. Apple focusing on intuition is usually a safe bet.
Wait, iOS 27 already? I thought the Duo wasn’t announced yet. Is this leak real or just wishful thinking?
Adapting iPadOS seems lazy. I hope they didn’t just copy-paste the interface without optimizing for touch.
Finally, Apple brings proper multitasking to iPhones. The Duo foldable changes everything for productivity on the go.
