I think you're right, though you're talking about an old era, where the iPhone was truly revolutionary, but how do you think the Duo is different from the other folds now?
the first iPhone was years ahead of its time, but the first Apple foldable is arguably the exact same (if not inferior) to the competition, with the exception of the good user experience we're used to from Apple
- mrhottakes 6d agoBased on the marketing materials, the Duo is different from other folds because: - Runs iOS with lots(?) of attention to UI - Won't break from a piece of dust - IP68 rated - Will actually receive software updates unlike many Android devices et cetera et cetera > the first iPhone was years ahead of its time Not really, not if you were paying attention to the market at the time. It was the first smartphone to put everything in a cohesive package instead of being a weird little computer that could make phone calls, but technologically it was comparable to features that already existed when it released. The real innovation was in UI and product design.
- mike_hearn 6d agoIt wasn't years ahead of its time. It was nice but the original iPhone was far behind its smartphone competitors in many respects. IIRC: • No 3G! This made the whole "i" part of the iPhone mostly worthless when not connected to wifi. Other phones had 3G. • No installable apps. Many argued about whether it was a smartphone at all. • No copy/paste. • No multi-tasking. etc. Probably more I forgot. Its competitors had all of these.
