GoKawiilHands-on video tests iPhone Duo's foldable design for left-handed users
A demo video from Instagram user Tom Hitchins (@bytereview) shows the upcoming iPhone Duo being operated left-handed, despite the foldable's hinge and curved-edge design appearing to favor right-handed grip. Hitchins, who is himself right-handed, says the device 'works well enough' when reaching across to the dock positioned on the right side of the screen.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Apple has not confirmed whether an accessibility setting will let users relocate the dock to the left side, leaving left-handed usability an open question ahead of the device's release. Hand-size variation means one demo video can't settle the matter definitively, and reviewers suggest in-person testing at an Apple Store will be the only reliable way for buyers to judge comfort.
- A video from Tom Hitchins shows iPhone Duo tested in left-handed use ahead of its expected release.
- The foldable's hinge and dock placement on the right side appear designed primarily for right-handed users.
- Apple hasn't confirmed any accessibility option to move the dock, so left-handed comfort remains unverified.
