GoKawiilApple's iPhone Duo drops FaceID and Camera Control button
Apple's foldable iPhone Duo reportedly forgoes FaceID facial recognition in favor of a TouchID fingerprint sensor built into the power button, similar to designs on Samsung foldables. The device also lacks the Camera Control button found on other current iPhones, and reportedly has less capable cameras and no true multi-window multitasking.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The omission of FaceID and Camera Control could frustrate users accustomed to those features on standard iPhones, even as some may welcome the return of a tactile fingerprint sensor. The combination of weaker cameras and no multitasking suggests Apple may be positioning the Duo more as a media consumption device than a tool for creative or productivity work, though this is an inference rather than a stated company strategy.
- iPhone Duo uses TouchID in the power button instead of FaceID
- The foldable lacks the Camera Control button found on other iPhones
- Weaker cameras and no multi-window multitasking suggest a media-focused design
