One of the biggest reasons people are interested in iPhone Duo isn’t the camera.
It isn’t the titanium.
It isn’t even the fact that it folds.
It’s the space.
For the first time, Apple is giving iPhone users a much larger internal display and software designed around it.
What Can You Do With the Extra Space?
Apple says the Duo supports Split View, allowing two apps to appear side by side.
That opens up some practical possibilities.
You could:
Read an email while looking at a website.
Have a video call while viewing information.
Compare products.
Look at a calendar while checking another application.
Browse Safari in one window while using another.
The larger display changes what feels comfortable to do on a phone.
This Could Be Useful for Older Users Too
Imagine receiving an email from a family member with an address.
On a traditional phone, you may switch back and forth between applications.
On Duo, a larger display gives you more room to keep information visible.
That doesn’t automatically make everything easier.
But more screen space can reduce the need to constantly switch between screens.
Apple Is Also Changing StandBy
Apple says StandBy gets a major upgrade on Duo.
The phone can be placed down and used as a photo frame, widget hub, clock, and more, including while not charging.
Calendar, Weather, Clock, and Photos faces are part of the updated experience.
What About Video Calls?
Apple says Zoom can use the inner display to provide a more immersive video-conference layout.
That could be useful for people who regularly communicate with family members, doctors, businesses, or coworkers through video.
But More Features Can Also Mean More Confusion
That’s something technology advertisements don’t always talk about.
Every new feature is something you have to learn.
Where is the button?
How do I split the screen?
How do I return to one app?
How do I move something from one side to another?
How does the phone behave when I fold it?
Those are perfectly reasonable questions.
You don’t have to learn it alone.

Sometimes having somebody explain a feature in plain English is easier than watching ten different videos.
