I'm not thrilled with the iPhone Duo. Aspect ratio. It'll require me to retool my apps for this.THE PRICE. CAD$3000 for the 256GB model? Honey, Apple is worth north of $4 trillion. Eat the bubble if you actually cared about your customers.No Face ID. Just give me the option.First, we lost the silence button to the action button, and now the action button is gone too.Wireless charging is still limted to 20W?If I get dust inside the hinge, then what? Is that included in AppleCare? How much is AppleCare going to be on this device anyway? All in all, I'm very unenthused. I'll have to develop for a new form factor, because I know clients will use this in lieu of an iPad. #apple #iphoneduo

@chad@mstdn.ca Yeah I can't see myself getting one either, and I hope I don't have to make many adjustments for my apps 😅

@chad@mstdn.ca as someone who used to eagerly watch the apple keynotes in the early 2010s it’s so disappointing to see how boring their “innovation” has become these days. it’s already pretty offensive that they try and sell us basically the same phone every year with just a new random gimmick, but at that price? laughably offensive. i will stick to my iphone 13 until it is dead.

@chad@mstdn.ca Or you could buy one of the many flagship Android foldables that are in their fourth generation at half the price.

@chad@mstdn.ca I could have an IPad the Same size and a iPhone for less. I get the appeal but jebus that’s a lot of money

@chad@mstdn.ca You know how much DDR5 RAM you could buy for $3k CAD?!? Very little it turns out.
