As someone with an iPhone duo this isn’t a problem for me as I’m not a TikTok person. I occasionally watch shorts on here otherwise mostly long form content like movies and shows which it has been perfect for

I love how the verge put out a bunch of content painting the iPhone duo in a bad light but every comment I see from actual users including myself is “I love my duo”

OK, am I missing something? Why wouldn’t you just stand the unfolded duo up? Yeah, there’s going to be some letterboxing on the sides, but shouldn’t that still be giving you more space than even a Pro Max iPhone?
