Apple’s first folding iPhone is finally here.

What happened
The first reviews of the iPhone Duo are in. It folds like a book: a 5.4-inch screen outside, and a 7.6-inch screen inside, almost like an iPad mini. It starts at 1,999 dollars.
Why it matters
Reviewers say the crease in the middle is barely visible, and the battery easily lasts a full day. But it’s heavy, it has no zoom camera, and it unlocks with your fingerprint, not your face. Some iPad-style features are still missing.
OTN take
Our take: the phone is official, and early reviews are mostly positive. It’s an impressive first try, but an expensive one. Unless you really want a tablet in your pocket, a regular iPhone is still the smarter buy.
