Apple's iPhone Duo to omit Face ID, advanced cameras

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Apple's new foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, will omit several popular features found on traditional iPhones. Notably, it will not include Face ID, relying instead on fingerprint or password authentication. The device also lacks the Camera Control button and features a less capable camera system compared to the iPhone 18 Pro, suggesting it's positioned more as a media consumption device. AI

IMPACT Minimal impact on AI operators; focuses on hardware compromises for a foldable form factor.
