00:00In this bag is the iPhone Duo that I just picked up from Apple.
00:03And I'm going to walk you through the first 24 hours of testing the world's first foldable iPhone.
00:09All right, now it's time for the iPhone Duo unboxing.
00:12Wow!
00:13Wow!
00:13Wow!
00:15Wow!
00:19Now that we've done the unboxing, it's time to hand off for benchmarks.
00:23So we're talking about everything from performance to battery life to the display.
00:26How bright does it get?
00:27And how does it compare to other phones?
00:28We're about to hand it off to Arif, who heads up our labs.
00:33Hi.
00:34Let's get these tests started so I can hand off this phone to Mark for him to start his review.
00:39I think the bottom line for our first round of performance test is that the iPhone Duo is performing better
00:45than we thought, right?
00:46There's not a performance hit in terms of how thin the design is.
00:49So the fact that you are getting that performance that is right in line with the iPhone 18 Pro and
00:55Pro Max,
00:55regardless of whether or not it's Geekbench or 3D Mark, is pretty impressive.
00:59So the next step is to leave this device with Arif for the display testing and the overnight battery testing
01:05and I'm going to check in with you guys tomorrow.
01:07Hey guys, it's the next day and now it's time to pick up the iPhone Duo and see how it
01:11did on our overnight testing.
01:12Are you impressed with the endurance or were you wishing for more?
01:15Like, what are your thoughts?
01:17As somebody who tests every single phone that comes to Tom's Guide in the labs, I would say that I
01:22am impressed with the endurance.
01:24All right, so I can take my new toy and now and do some anecdotal testing or what?
01:29Would you hate me if I say that I need to keep it for another day to run two or
01:33three more tests?
01:34Uh, I will give you at least one more run because we want to get an average, but I also
01:39have to start doing camera testing and everything else.
01:41Does that sound fair?
01:42Fair enough to me.
01:46With lab testing more or less wrapped, I'm starting to get the real experience of using an Apple foldable.
01:51On the commute home, I was navigating the new Slack app like I was a pro in no time.
01:56Then I got to taking some photos.
01:57Check out that nanotexture display in action.
02:00It does a really good job at limiting glare.
02:02Now I'll get a little meta for a sec.
02:03I actually had to sit down and write a review for Tom's Guide.com.
02:07I got the duo propped up in tent mode to keep an eye on Ohio State vs. Indiana on YouTube
02:11TV.
02:12What else?
02:13I dove into intense games like Ungodly on the huge 7.6-inch screen.
02:17I opened an e-book and flipped the duo into portrait mode.
02:20Come the morning, I woke up to my alarm and the soft glow of standby mode.
02:24Then, stuck in traffic on the bus back to the office, I caught up on the Giants quarterback controversy in
02:28Safari.
02:29Again, that display looks great against sunlight.
02:31So that's been my first few days with the iPhone Duo, but we have one more thing to do,
02:35and that's our full iPhone Duo review for YouTube, which is probably going to be live by the time you
02:39see this.
02:40So what did you think of going behind the scenes with us, and do you want to see more videos
02:44like it?
02:44Let us know in the comments.
