I Worked for a Whole Day Using Only the iPhone Duo. Here’s How It Went

Wired ·

The writer spent a working day using Apple’s iPhone Duo, a foldable with a 7.6-inch inner screen, to draft a review and handle work tasks. The experiment was more manageable than expected, but the phone did not fully replace a computer: some routine actions were awkward, and the writer returned to a desktop for final edits.

The experience depended heavily on app support and accessories. iOS requires AssistiveTouch to use a Bluetooth mouse, split-screen apps are locked to equal sizes, and portrait multitasking is limited; app pairs were a useful feature. Slack supported the larger display and Zoom video looked good, but Zoom’s portrait-only layout caused trouble, while the article notes Google apps had uneven support.

In short

  • The iPhone Duo handled a day of writing better than expected.
  • iOS multitasking limits and app compatibility caused friction.
  • The writer still needed a desktop for final edits.
